In 1957 a song called "Peggy Sue" by relative newcomer Buddy Holly rose to #3 on the charts and quickly gained him a gold record. But while most songs soar and then die, "Peggy Sue" became a standard. Sung by hundreds of artists from Connie Francis to John Lennon and transcribed into multiple languages, the song inevitably drew attention to the lady who provided the inspiration. For years, she remained a mysterious figure; only a bouquet of red roses periodically left at Buddy's grave gave fans a clue that she was real.
Now, Peggy Sue Gerron, the "girl next door" immortalized in Buddy Holly¹s song has finally written her memoirs. Because she was THERE, you will read a different picture of the rock and roll story, with intimate details never before revealed in book or film. Straight from her diary, she corrects the untruths and rumors associated with the birth of rock and roll to tell one of the most fascinating stories in music.
In 1955 Peggy Sue began dating Jerry Allison, Buddy Holly's best friend and drummer for the Crickets. Soon, she too forged a close friendship with Buddy and when she married Jerry, Buddy found himself a bride, too. But on the double honeymoon that followed, things changed.
Come follow Peggy Sue through her prophetic nightmares of impending tragedy, a plane crash that shattered her hopes, and, the surprising truths of the accident¹s aftermath. Through her story, you will accompany her as lives the mystery surrounding the crash that killed Buddy, the Big Bopper, and Richie Valens, as she takes a rocket ride to Hollywood while the Crickets carve out an identity without Buddy, and in her struggle to move on from a life drawn in destiny to become a woman dedicated to preserving the facts of rock and roll music history.
This is the story of dreams, fate, tragedy, lost innocence, and ultimately, getting on with life.
