Apache Springs
Annie McClaine was a 'good girl,'and not just because she always got caught when she did anything else. Then after graduation, she and her High school
sweetheart eloped to Mexico. Her grandmother-the family matriarch-opposed
the marriage and convinced Cort to sign annulment papers and leave Annie.

Soon Annie discovered she was prenant and that nobody knew where Cort had gone. With her grandmother's reluctant blessing, Annie left her hometown of Apache Springs, New Mexico for Florida and an aunt she hadn't know existed. Art school and business classes taught her the business end of running an art gallery. Her Aunt Jeanne taught her the meaning of family in ways she had never imagined. Having a child, Courtney, as an umarried woman in the 1950's taught her many realities of life.

Annie grew into a successful artist, part-owner of a busy art gallery in Florida, a beautiful woman with an adored daughter. Still, her heart longed for the young man she'd married, but not seen or heard from for seven years. When her stepmother was injured and asked for her in the hospital, Annie flew back to Apache Springs to see the woman who had always been cold toward her. The town fanned the ever-present spark of love for Cort, and once again, Annie tried to find him-without success.

Returning to Florida, Annie found herself pulled between the two locations, between young love and an offer of new love, between business as usual or something new. As she made her choices, Annie finished growing into the woman she'd almost given up on becoming.

Weslynn McCallister's "Apache Springs" is Annie's story, and it is also the story of a small town in the late 1950's and early 1960's. It's a story of families rooted and uprooted, of hearts bound by time and place, of hope everlasting and the possibilities inherent in true love.
