Anna Gallagher has been living in Washington territory with her brother and Grandfather from Russia. Her family wants to see her married to a respectable man (messing, has money). Anna herself longs for adventure. She has always loved looking at Mt. Rainier. She is determined to summit it one day.

Anna is a wonderful person. I love that she isn't intimidated by the large responsibility of climbing and what it will take to do what she wants. I love her friendship with Heather and her daughter. I love that she didn't fall for Connor or the guy who demeaned women but instead for Ben- who didn't want to dampen her spirit of adventure. I was proud of her accomplishments on the mountain.
