Books by Kay Peterson

As I've wandered through life's ever-changing tapestry of adventures, weathering this storm or basking in the afterglow of a grand experience, I've learned that I am addicted to my meandering so, following whims and ideas and larks which happen by. Oh, I seldom leave the security of home but let my mind drift into a serendipitous kaleidoscope of artful imaginings. My imagination can so carry me away that I can smell the leather, taste the trail dust, nuzzle the baby's downy head. I feel emotions, live experiences, and I deeply feel the love or bewilderment or despair just as my characters do. I love my meandering so, which at last brought me to paper and pen-iPad, actually-where the adventure of this book all began. Enjoy, dear reader . . .

We are the result of all our experiences. To know us, you must know our stories... The Escapees RV Club was founded by Joe and Kay Peterson in 1978. Originally there was no detailed plan-the Petersons were simply two working travelers who wanted to make the RV lifestyle the best it could be for themselves and for fellow travelers. They had no idea that over 100,000 Escapees members would eventually join the club! With a magazine, an RV park system, a licensed adult day care center, and the largest mail service under one roof, the Escapees RV Club is now one of the largest in the industry. It provides a total support network for all RVers. The Petersons have inspired countless others to follow their dreams and discover the joy of this traveling lifestyle.Along their journey, Joe and Kay learned lessons in resilience, compassion, and an understanding that it is people-not places-that are important. In Beating the Odds, Kay Peterson shares the memories of their mistakes, disappointments, and heartaches. She shares her family's history and how it all led to finding Joe, her soul mate, and the lifestyle that gave them so much happiness.
