Author: Annie Jones

Annie Jones builds traditional romance and inspirational fiction around family, faith, and small communities. The Barefoot Believers opens a two-book sequence that continues with Barefoot Brides. Published in 2008, the novel brings together three women who have returned to a Kentucky town and formed a close friendship while facing different personal decisions. Series records place it among Jones’s many connected stories, including the Somebody books, the Christmas Sisters for All Seasons, and the Belles Will Be Belles sequence. Penguin Random House describes her as a bestselling author who lives with her family in Versailles, Kentucky. Jones has written full time while drawing comic and emotional material from domestic life, courtship, parenthood, and community obligations. The Barefoot Believers represents the faith-oriented side of her bibliography and establishes the friendships developed in the sequel. Its series position makes it an entry point rather than an isolated title in her extensive romance catalogue.
