Anne Shirley grew up in a secluded compound. There were many children, many women, and few men. Her life was extremely sheltered from the outside world. Barely using electricity. Trying to live a simple life without TV, internet, phone, etc. Having to wear dresses with long sleeves. Anne has seen these things when they would take her on a trip to the outside world. But it was very rare. She didn't realize that she was part of a polygamist cult. Her entire life was to obey the men at all times. It wasn't until she was seventeen that she was to be forced into an arrange marriage with her uncle. They were going to wait until after she turned eighteen to marry. Something inside her told her this was wrong. Anne struggled with this. The need to obey like she was taught, or to follow her gut. The night before her wedding, Anne took off. She had a bag with clothing, light food, and water. Having no idea where she is, Anne felt this was far enough. Hopefully.
