Author Victoria Summers’s New Book, “THE COUNTERFEIT LEGEND, A Memoir: Respected Pony League Manager Lives Double Life Robbing Banks,” is an Extraordinary Read

Castaic, CA, August 30, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Victoria Summers, who grew up in California’s San Fernando Valley in the sixties, has completed her new book, “THE COUNTERFEIT LEGEND, A Memoir: Respected Pony League Manager Lives Double Life Robbing Banks”: a remarkable work that shares the incredible story of a tall, charismatic fireman who led a secret life filled with crime, addiction, and abuse. It’s been 60 years on November 4 since the Mutt and Jeff bandits were caught stealing...this is the inside story.

Author Victoria Summers attended the Los Angeles Valley College for Liberal Arts and began her creative journey painting special effects by hand for Hanna-Barbera animation studios. She then moved on to a career in radio advertising and began writing scripts to help market her clients. Now, as a published author, Summers writes about her life growing up with an abusive stepfather, who lived a double life of crime and public admiration. This is her inspiring story of overcoming trauma through her faith. 2023 is the 60th anniversary of Summers’s father’s arrest and the public realization of his double life of crime.

Summers writes, “Growing up, I lived with a man who led two vastly different lives engulfed in secrets and deception. My family endured the multiple facets of my father’s personality, cruelty and dishonesty juxtaposed with fatherly love and affection. Sorting through it all with the buffer of time, I’ve come to the conclusion that those of us who have suffered abuse can choose to walk one of two paths in life. We can let it take us over, cripple us, haunt us, and spill onto others, ultimately remaining in the darkness. Or we can step into the light. This is the story of how I found the light.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Victoria Summers’s new book sheds light on the true story of Jennings’s double life as an armed bank robber, which he led while masking himself as a community hero.
