The Travels of Annie T. Hastings — Michael Hastings

With a gun, a typewriter, and a wolf-hound, Annie fires up her junker and embarks on a journey across America seeking a long-lost daughter. At seventy years old, driven mad with guilt, alienated from her family, angry at the world, Annie has little time to make it right. It all happened so fast - the infant ripped from her arms at birth, then hustled away, the forcing of her signature on the adoption papers... Annie aches for her daughter's understanding, forgiveness, and love. What she gets is, redemption. Neurotic, funny, and enduring, Annie Hastings narrates the conflicts she confronts, and at times creates. They must all be conquered and overcome before finding her daughter and facing a truth buried in Annie's past... A birthmother on a mission and an oldster on a mission!
