Literary excellence came early for Marian University Ancilla College's Annalee Schade '25. The first-year student recently debuted her poem book, "To Touch a Heart."
"My hope for those who read my book is that my poems stir their emotions, making them reflect and draw them closer to God," Schade explained. "I believe that everyone can pursue their dreams, and I aspire to inspire people with learning disabilities and mental disorders to do the same."
Schade's journey began in middle school, and her poems in high school were a beacon of encouragement for all, especially those with disabilities. Let's celebrate Annalee's achievement and role as a Shining Star, inspiring and uplifting others. Schade's book is readily accessible to all. It is available on Lulu.com and Amazon.com as an eBook or a paperback. By purchasing this book, you are not only supporting a great cause but also joining a community of readers who are uplifted by Annalee's words.
