When Annie Wilkins’ doctor gives her two years to live, Annie sells her farm, buys a horse, and leaves Maine for the cross-country trek of a lifetime in pursuit of the Pacific Ocean. Her journey West includes tales of a marriage proposal, grand parades, red carpets, and a truck accident. When the national press found out about her, she became a viral sensation.
