Full Length Books by Ann Heap

Ann writes closed door romances that are more than happily-ever-after love stories. Each one shines a light on a real life issue and features protagonists working hard to overcome personal spin-out from that issue. These are stories of friendship and family, compassion and community, that affirm the power of love.

BEYOND THE SKY: A Mountain Woman's Journey to Personal Freedom

From the pages of history, a novel for the ages . . .


The passion of activism flourished on college campuses in the tumultuous sixties, and Tillie embraced it as a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh. Descended from Irish immigrants known in their Appalachian community as Granny Women – the healers – her compassionate nature drew her into the Civil Rights Movement. She could never have predicted how dramatically her life would change. When family journals reveal shocking news about her history and lineage, she’s forced to re-define her path to the future.


Which road will she take?


After navigating new horizons, she may have to look for answers that lie Beyond the Sky.

Join readers on a thought-provoking journey through the divisions of the Civil War into the ardor of an era when our country’s youth led the way to a better national consciousness.
