Annette Raynor is an entrepreneur with an extensive background in emerging technologies and finance since 1983. An avid reader, she enjoys novels that focus on social concerns from multiple viewpoints, along with historical nonfiction. "I believe that we need to look to the past and try to put ourselves in the position of others when we take a stand on important social concerns. It is only through this exercise that we can hope to create a world that is beneficial for all." Annette developed the story line for Overturned from multiple true-life stories shared with her throughout the years. Annette maintains that story telling is the most effective way for us to discern, understand and communicate without conflict.

The inspiration for Overturned came in 1990's when the balance of the Supreme Court was in jeopardy. I wondered what would happen if abortion was outlawed and there was no shortage of women who told me their stories and stressed that we can never go back. Overturned was fiction but the characters were composites of the true stories shared with me. NEVER did I imagine this would be real and I think everyone should know where we came from as we are now returning to a time of heartache, suffering and death. It's my hope than everyon who reads the book will have an open mind as the characters are both pro-life and pro-choice. Outlawing abortion is about power and control. Overturned demonstrates that our lives depend upon unconditional love.
