Becoming Annie
She wakes up barefoot in a sundress, rocking in a patio chair, surrounded by the laughter of her daughters and the quiet power of the woods. Chapter One opens in a national park—but the real terrain she’s navigating is internal.
Written during a family vacation, this first chapter is Annie's exhale. Her reclaiming. Her remembering.
You'll walk with her through the morning stillness, the scent of coffee and sausage in the air, past the rainbows before the storm, and into the moment where she realizes: This is the life she built. This is the woman she is.
Chapter One is a sensory love letter to the present moment—and a launching point for the wild, rich, unfiltered memoir that follows.
Meet the Author
Juanita McCarthy is a woman who wears many titles—mother, veteran, macramé artist, and now, author of Becoming Annie: She's Not a Persona. She Is a Resurrection. As the visionary behind the More Than Motherhood movement, Juanita built a platform for modern moms ready to reclaim their identity, power, and purpose beyond the roles they’ve been boxed into.
This book isn’t just a story. It’s a reckoning. Through Annie, Juanita writes with fearless honesty, sensuality, and soul—blending memoir with fiction to explore the awakening that happens when a woman stops shrinking. What began as journaling under the stars became a voice too loud to ignore. Annie isn’t a character—she’s the resurrection of every silenced version of Juanita that refused to die.
When she’s not writing or mentoring, you can find Juanita dancing in the kitchen with her daughters, planning her micro-farm, or living fully in the messy, magical middle of motherhood and becoming.
