by Kate Birkin, Mark Bornz
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | Historical Fiction
“SHAMED BE THE WOMAN WHO ALLOWETH SUCH A SIN.” – The Amazon #1 Bestseller, reminiscent of The Thorn Birds and The Light Between Oceans. Poignant, heartrending, and unforgettable. Inspired by a true story from the 1930s . . .
When Anna’s beautiful American cousin Lottie returns to a remote cattle station in Esperance, Australia, she shares her heart’s greatest desire to have a baby. Anna, suffering from undiagnosed mental illness and afraid of losing her beloved cousin again, manipulates her unwilling husband to grant Lottie’s wish. What follows brings devastating consequences for them all . . .
Note on Mental Illness:
In this heartbreaking story, Anna Shahan has undiagnosed schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, and Asperger’s syndrome. These debilitating conditions have a profound affect on her decisions and actions, as well as on her loved ones, resulting in dramatic and unexpected outcomes for them all.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in eight people in the world lives with a mental disorder. The social stigma it invokes has improved a great deal in recent years, but those with mental illness still suffer the emotional and cognitive pain that it brings. The Consequence of Anna engages the reader in this extremely important topic of today, and hopefully educates and promotes empathy toward the millions of people and their families who live with it every day.
