Anna
Laura Guthrie
Every cloud has a silver lining. Doesn’t it?
Anna is thirteen years old, lives in London with her father, and has Asperger’s syndrome. When her father dies she travels up to the Scottish Central Belt to live with her estranged, reclusive mother. With little support to help her fit in, she must use everything her father taught her – especially her ‘Happy Game’ – to integrate into her new community, connect with her mother, discover her past, and cope with the challenges along the way.

She is a member of the Dingwall-based Ross-Shire Writers, and has produced two of her own plays with her theatre company, Sunrise Theatre. Her poetry and short fiction have been anthologised by several Scottish presses. She is the winner of the 2016 Exeter Story Prize.
