Anne of a Different Island

A woman learns to be the heroine of her own life in this heartfelt novel inspired by She believed life could follow a plotline--until the story she was living unraveled. Anne Gallagher has always lived by the book. But when a string of real-life plot twists--a failing romance, a fight with the administration, and the sudden death of her beloved father--pulls her back to the island she once couldn’t wait to leave, Anne is forced to face a truth no story ever prepared her for. Sometimes, life doesn’t follow a script. Back in the house she grew up in, Anne must confront her past and the people she left behind, including Joe Miller, the boy who once called her “The Pest.” It’s time to figure out what she wants and rewrite her story to create her own happy ending. Not the book version. The real one.
