The Black Pond

Eighteen-year-old Annie is attempting a new start after her parents were tragically killed by a drunk driver. Feeling a bit lost and out of sorts, Annie decides to follow through on plans for college, and also finds a job working for an older, vibrant woman named Mrs. Sterling. One of the first tasks in her new job is to clean out the attic, where Annie finds an old diary buried in a box. She soon finds herself emotionally involved with the diary owner’s struggles as well as her own, such as her growing friendship with Daniel, a veterinarian student. While slowly rebuilding herself, she stumbles upon a surprising secret that changes her life. Annie’s humorous and heart-felt journey takes place near Clifty Falls State Park in beautiful southern Indiana.
