Scripture used in this book, whether quoted or paraphrased by the characters, is taken from the King James Version of the Bible.
This is a work of historical fiction; the appearances of certain historical figures is therefore inevitable. All other characters, however, are products of the authors imagination, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental.
I found Annas Crossing to be everything I love in a novel, especially in a historical novel! Fast paced, character driven, filled with rich descriptions and enjoyable dialogue. It was a pleasure to read and I am honored to have had the opportunity to endorse it.
Shelley Shepard Gray , New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Always in the big woods when you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place there will be, along with the feelings of curiosity and excitement, a little nagging of dread. It is the ancient fear of the Unknown, and it is your first bond with the wilderness you are going into.

April 15th, 1737
Its a hard crossing, theyd been warned. Eight weeks in a wooden tub with no guarantee theyd ever get there. Anna Knig crouched beside a bed of roses, breathing deeply of the freshly turned loam. She had done all she could to avoid this treacherous sea journey, and yet here she was, digging up her rose to take along with her. She jabbed her shovel in the ground, mulling all the reasons this voyage was fraught with ill.
It meant leaving behind her grandparents, her home, her church in Ixheim, Germany. Her people. It would be the end of everything shed ever known and loved.
Some endings are really beginnings, her grandfather had said when she told him that Christian Mller, the minister, askedno, insistedshe join the departing families. If you dont remember anything Ive ever tried to teach you, remember that.
Despite misgivings and forebodings, Anna relented. How do you say no to a minister? She was the only one who could speak and understand English. And thats why she was stabbing the earth with her shovel, digging up her most precious rose to take on the journey, hoping that the hard winter and late-to-come spring meant its roots would still be dormant. If she was going to go to this strange New World, she was going to bring this rose. And she was going. Tomorrow.
