Some give lip service to the American dream, some merely revere it, and some like Patti Penny pursue it rabidly, not just to better themselves and achieve notoriety, but with the goal of helping others also become successful.

In A Vision Fulfilled, author Michael Pulley captures much of Penny’s personal history. From her more-than-humble, small town beginnings, he chronicles her journey of determination and sheer spunk-always fraught with disappointments and setbacks-that eventually lands her at the top of a business venture she carved out for herself, forever giving back to a community she cherishes. He describes how her pre-business experiences shaped her, forming her into a caring, hardworking woman who is unafraid of taking chances and always treats people fairly.

A Vision Fulfilled narrates a story about the struggles inherent in achieving the American dream, which has guided so many for so long. It’s one woman’s story that has the power to inspire others and make them better people through courage and hard work.
