The desire to keep family history alive was integral in inspiring Peters' latest book, "Earnest Meets the Outlaw". The book tells in light-hearted, narrative form one of the favorite stories of Peters' grandfather's childhood- the time when his father unwittingly aided a fugitive outlaw, right in the family's home!
