As a child, Anna Logan lives securely with her grandfather in Kentucky. He speaks lovingly of her mother, who died shortly after Anna was born, but refuses to talk about her father, telling her only that he never came back from the war. She longs for the day when he'll finally answer all her questions. But when she's nine years old, her grandfather dies, taking the secret of her father with him to the grave. Alone in the world, Anna must adjust to life at an orphanage. As a teenager, she travels to Colorado with a local family to help them at their boardinghouse. There, she's surrounded by the colorful characters who live and work with her--Jason, a handsome newspaper reporter; Claire, her secretive new friend; and Billy, a quirky old prospector. And she struggles to come to terms with the unanswered questions of her past--questions that seem to overshadow her life. Set in the historic mining town of Rosita, Colorado, Dearest Anna tells an inspiring story of a girl's search for her identity, a family, and faith in an uncertain world.… (más)

The central characters in Dearest Anna are fictional, but the historical information presented is accurate. The town of Rosita, Colorado, existed, as did its neighboring towns, Silver Cliff and Bassickville. The Grand Canyon of the Arkansas is known today as the Royal Gorge. Although Rosita is now a ghost town, it has a colorful history. I have made every effort to authentically portray Rosita's story as I tell Anna's. ---Deborah Rau
