'Dear Future Anna' is an enticing poetry book that was written to ignite inspiration for young and old readers across the world. This book is designed to show how you can accomplish so much even when you are young. There can always be an opportunity for everyone to do something they love, but they choose not to do it. When reading this book, you will encounter both parts of life and the emotions that everyone will experience throughout their lives. 'Dear Future Anna' is also motivational words and poems written to the future version of myself. They are inspirational letters to look back on, when myself and others might feel down and want to give up hope.

A collection of poems about peace by Anna Grossnickle Hines, accompanied by illustrations that feature quilts made by the poet.

The poems have been inspired through God's presence. In the last few years the desire and words to write have increased. It is not unusual for Anna to write several in a day. She believes if we are to find God's salvation, that we must be honest, turn our wills over to Him, and treat others as Jesus would.
