Full Length Books by Ann Heap

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This book is fiction, but Domestic Abuse Survivors will confirm it’s grounded in reality!

September 11, 2001, left most of us reeling, but for Jon and Allie that day left a deep scar on their hearts. When their lives unexpectedly cross years later in a rural Appalachian Mountain community, they are both still recoiling from their personal spin-out and trauma from that day. Hers was domestic violence. His was grief from loss.

Can they heal each other?

Follow the story of a career fire fighter and an infection control nurse as they re-build their broken lives, while engaged in creating a New Tomorrows shelter for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Strongly immersed in a volunteer Fire/EMS brotherhood, this story shows how Love, Courage, and Hope can break through the barriers of the past.

Wanda won’t identity her baby’s father. 

Randy has never given up on her or the child he comes to love as his own, so they rekindle their broken teenage love. As Carter grows, his mother’s secret puts him in danger. The truth must be revealed.

But is it what she believes?

Or something entirely different?

Follow Wanda and Randy on their page-turning journey to solve an unexpected mystery and navigate drama and a nail-biting rescue before he can adopt Carter and become a Father by Choice. 

Told against the backdrop of the Hidden Valley Fire & Rescue company, Starting Over is more than a happily-ever-after second-chance love story. It's a story of compassion, friendship, community, and finding courage to overcome personal trauma. 

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.
