The charming real-life fairy tale of an American secretary who
discovers she has been chosen king of an impoverished fishing
village on the west coast of Africa.
"King Peggy" chronicles the astonishing journey of American
secretary, Peggielene Bartels, who suddenly finds herself king to a
town of 7,000 people on Ghana's central coast, half a world away.
Upon arriving for her crowning ceremony in beautiful Otuam, she
discovers the dire reality: there's no running water, no doctor, no
high school, and many of the village elders are stealing the town's
funds. To make matters worse, her uncle (the late king) sits in a
morgue awaiting a proper funeral in the royal palace, which is in
ruins. Peggy's first two years as king of Otuam unfold in a way
that is stranger than fiction. In the end, a deeply traditional
African town is uplifted by the ambitions of its decidedly modern
female king, and Peggy is herself transformed, from an ordinary
secretary to the heart and hope of her community.
