"A Cherished Lassie" is a heartwarming, adventurous, and fun romance story filled with plenty of fun and drama. Annie is a beautiful and intelligent 21 year old lady who comes from what we can describe as a middle-class family in Cahokia, Illinois. Her father was a noble man and protective of his reputation and family. But, he died in a horse-race when she was 8, so, she was raised solely by her mother who at every moment tries to satisfy her daughter's needs with the little she earns from her craft business. Annie says "yes" to a child hood friend who asked her out after her mother had approved of their intended relationship. She had believed that there more to life than what Cahokia had to offer. But as time wears on, Annie has several life-changing twists and turns in her personal and romantic life.
