Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher is a suspenseful, human-interest account detailing the harsh reality endured by young Anna. It tenderly acquaints the reader with a lonely young girl and shares her courage in facing adversity. Many of Annabelle's experiences were taken from the lives of actual people.

Have you ever felt as if your dreams

were more memorable, more alive,

than what you knew to be reality?

Have your dreams ever seemed so tangible

as to make you question upon waking

if you’d truly only dreamt them?

Have they at times been addictive enough

to consume your waking hours,

blurring actuality and pretend together

until your wishes and passions

stare back at you with open eyes?

If only dreams could be reality,

that beautiful garden of sweet-smelling roses we all long for.

But reality for me is no such bed of roses.

It is nothing but a field of unwanted dandelions.

—    From the thoughts of

           Annabelle Fancher
