The Story of
Annabelle Sandlin

   Annabelle Sandlin grew up in Indiana, in a small town of just 400 people, where the close-knit community and simple way of life nurtured her love for storytelling. Today, she lives in a lovely seniors apartment with a peaceful view of a lake, complete with a water spout, geese, and ducks. This tranquil setting continues to inspire her gentle and uplifting writing.

Annabelle is the author of The Barn That Crowed and the third edition of Beyond Barriers, which is published by Annabelle Sandlin Publications. Her books are filled with themes of kindness, friendship, and staying true to oneself—values she hopes young readers will carry with them.

When she's not writing, Annabelle enjoys the view from her apartment, reflecting on the beauty of nature and the stories still waiting to be told.
