Set against the backdrop of 1901, the novel-in-verse explores the life of Annie Taylor, the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. It delves into the challenges she faced as a mature woman in a society that struggled to accept her boldness. Despite her groundbreaking achievement, Annie was marginalized and ultimately overshadowed by a man who replicated her feat a decade later, highlighting themes of gender, exploitation, and the fleeting nature of fame.
