Old Annie

What if your greatest strength was the very thing that set you apart?

In a land both welcoming and wild, she must navigate unfamiliar terrain, earn the trust of wary neighbours, and embrace the quiet power that sets her apart. As she finds her place in a tight-knit pioneer community, Annie’s story becomes one of quiet courage, everyday magic, and the enduring strength of women who refuse to be forgotten.

Old Annie is a beautifully told tale of resilience, renewal, and the deep roots of healing—perfect for readers who believe the most extraordinary stories are often found in the lives of the seemingly ordinary.
