"Should she accept the fact that she was just an old woman whose time had passed, from whom nothing surprising or new or vivid was expected?"
From the title and the mere fact of the existence of this book, we can see that Annie Wilkins did not accept this as fact - she pulled together her courage and embarked on an epic journey across America on horseback. This is the story of her amazing perseverance against all odds and all the kind and helpful people she met along the way. It is also the story of the special friendship between Annie and her three animal companions. Truly heartwarming.

I loved reading this book. The story of Annie and her journey was good and it wasn’t the usual journey because Annie rarely had to rough it like so many others that have chosen to make journeys like she did. What I found most pleasurable to read about was the way life was back then in the 50’s. It was so different from the way it is today. I would never open my door to a stranger that looked like she did and I would certainly never invite a “tramp” or any other stranger into my home.
