But there's a Thelma in everyone's life. She's the person taking charge, the one who knows instinctively how things should be. Growing up, Peggy saw her mother as a benevolent, loving dictator. When major league baseball came to town in the early 1950s and turned sophisticated Thelma into a crazed Baltimore Orioles groupie, nobody was more surprised and embarrassed than Peggy. Life became a series of compromises -- and they discovered that sometimes, we're more alike than we know." -- $c (Source of summary not specified). 700 1 $a Rowe, Mike, $d 1962- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200104011338.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0CF45022EBF11EAB91A454597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
