Annie Weatherwax and her acclaimed first novel
All We Had
"Starting over in a small town after a series of poverty-induced hardships, 13-year-old Ruthie and her waitress mother, Rita, forge family-like bonds with the locals, only to fall for a subprime mortgage loan scheme that compels Rita to make a desperate choice.."
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and can easily see it becoming a very engaging movie. Meet Annie and ask her how it feels to have her first novel published!
