Adrianne (aka Mom) is Anna's
mother. She was born and raised in Massachusetts, but came south
during the back-to-the-land movement in the 1970s and ended up on a
farm in Virginia where she raised her three children. She canned five gallon pails of tomatoes and corn from the garden while eight months pregnant with one daughter and cut down a Christmas tree the day before giving birth to the other. (She also dropped Anna in a flooded creek when
Anna was an infant, which might explain many things....)
Currently, Adrianne lives in a medium-sized town an hour and a half
from the
Walden Effect
farm. She enjoys reading tales of arctic
explorations gone terribly wrong, growing her own vegetables, and
keeping an eye on her three children.
