In her teens, Annie confronts the local Klansmen and trusts Bo, her African American friend and surrogate father, as they fight to save the Chesapeake Bay property left to her. When the family legacy of depression haunts her early adulthood, and Annie struggles with estrangement from her husband and young son, will she be able to accept love from the man who has been there all along? Annie Crow Knoll: Sunrise celebrates a young woman's strengthening sense of self and the restorative magic of the natural world at the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. It is a story of loss, grief, survival and the healing powers of friendship and nature.
