Peggy Wirgau

Peggy Wirgau loves true stories from the past and writes through the eyes of history’s unsung heroines.

The book is the recipient of several awards and honors, including a Starred Review from School Library Journal and the Pageturner Award Longlist. Her newest novel, To Outwit Them All, is inspired by the true story of the only female member of George Washington’s spy ring during the American Revolution. To Outwit Them All is also a Pageturner Book Award Finalist.

Peggy and her husband are Michigan natives and now make their home in Colorado. They have two children and three small grandchildren.
