Kimaya Mathew asked Catherine Anderson:

Which is your favourite scene from Annie's song?

Catherine Anderson Annie's story spoke to my heart in so many ways that it is difficult for me to choose only one scene that is my absolute favorite. Having said that, my aim for Annie in the story was for her to be able to lead a normal life, so I suppose my favorite scenes were toward the end of the novel when she prevailed by learning to speak, read, and be self-sufficient enough to be a wife and mother. Nowadays, the hearing impaired accomplish much grander achievements and compete in the workforce with those who are not hearing impaired, but for Annie, in her era, her achievements were pretty spectacular. With some education and the support of one man, she broke away from the bondage of silence.
