Elisabeth asked April Wilson:

In Redeemed was Anne Elliot of Jane Austen's Persuasion a bit of a character model for Annie?

April Wilson Hi, Elisabeth. Yes! Absolutely yes! The character Anne Elliot, from my novel Redeemed, gets her name from Jane Austen's novel Persuasion. Persuasion is one of my favorite Austen novels. I love how Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth find each other again; it's the perfect tale of a second-chance romance. That's where my inspiration for this novel came from. Thank you so much for asking. You're the first person who has brought up this connection with me. :)
