The definitive story of Annie Abbott is here - Annie Abbott "The Little Georgia Magnet" and the True Story of Dixie Haygood
This new book is the definitive story of Dixie Haygood, the woman who was the original Annie Abbott. The book is the product of years of extensive research using original documents, as well as Annie Abbott's diary and other the family archives belonging to the descendants of Dixie Haygood/Annie Abbott. The Harringtons are the only researchers who have been granted access to the family’s archival materials. While engaged in the research, the Harringtons have, on more than one occasion, achieved surprising, even startling, successes. At first they thought they had been lucky. Members of the family who heard of their experiences insist there was more than simple good fortune at work. Annie Abbott said that she possessed a "power that she could not explain." More than once have family members and the Harringtons felt the "LIttle Georgia Magnet's" presence, and family members are sure that Annie Abbott’s power has come to the aid of the Harringtons in their research. Like Annie Abbott, the Harringtons cannot say what assistance they may have received or from whence it came. However, what they have experienced has been more than “good luck.” It has been "the power"! *Annie Abbott "The Little Georgia Magnet" and the True Story of Dixie Haygood* covers the story of Annie Abbott far more completely than the articles listed below. These publications just touch the surface compared to what is now known. The book will be the first complete and accurate accounting of the story of the original Annie Abbott, the "Little Georgia Magnet" and her main competitor, Annie May Abbott.
