Story Behind The Book
It was 1709 in the German Palatine during the coldest winter in 500 years. Anna Seiler despaired as her farm animals died, her winter wheat froze in the ground and her neighbors weakened from starvation. But then, the Queen of England called on Anna's countrymen to abandon their homeland, make their way to London and set sail for her colonies in America where she promised free land and a new life. In eight months, over 13,000 desperate people answered her call including Anna, with her small band of family and friends, who set out to do the impossible - survive the journey.
Reviews
I've just completed "Winters' Wrath"! The characters are so well-drawn...and
while I know this is a historical novel and that there has obviously been
endless hours of research on the incredible minute facts of this era & the
horrific times these forebears fought against, the 'fictitious' characters are
SO 'real', I, for one, will keep them in MY memory as people that lived through
the experiences of the story. I simply cannot WAIT for Volume 2 of the Palatine
