Who says boys are the only ones allowed to have talents and use them? Thats what Phoebe Anne Moses, or Annie, as she prefers to be called, would like to know. From the day Annie first picks up her fathers rifle at age 8, its clear she has a rather unusual gift. She is the sharpest shooter in the land. Her Quaker mother would rather Annie concentrate on more traditional activities like cooking and sewing. But Annie cant deny whats in her soul. Its only when shes out in the wilderness, alone with the quiet and the trees and the animals, that she truly feels alive. And Annie knows the game she shoots just may save her family from a life of poverty and despair.
