“Annaliese From Off is a compelling story set in 1900’s Georgia, a world where both pristine land and human souls are entwined in their destinies. With vivid language and powerful characters, Lindy Carter takes the reader deep into a heart conflicted with profound needs and cultural expectations. I am enthralled with Annaliese, her brave life and her risky choices.”

“In the face of the timbering holocaust that swept through the Appalachian Mountains in the early 1900’s, Annaliese confronts those who would slash every tree. Mother, lumber mill owner, innovator, Annaliese discovers her strengths and passion as she thwarts male domination and greed. You’ll cheer her on every step of the way. Annaliese, Sound and True is a beautiful, evocative book from an important new voice in fiction.”
