Anna's Crossing By Suzanne Woods Fisher

When Anna König first meets Bairn, the Scottish ship carpenter of the Charming Nancy, their encounter is anything but pleasant. Anna is on the ship only to ensure the safe arrival of her loved ones to the New World. Hardened by years of living at sea, Bairn resents toting these naïve farmers--dubbed "Peculiars" by deckhands--across the ocean. As delays, storms, illness, and diminishing provisions afflict crew and passengers alike, Bairn finds himself drawn to Anna's serene nature. For her part, Anna can't seem to stay below deck and far away from the aloof ship's carpenter, despite warnings.
When an act of sacrifice leaves Anna in a perilous situation, Bairn discovers he may not have left his faith as firmly in the past as he thought. But has the revelation come too late?
Amish fiction favorite Suzanne Woods Fisher brings her fans back to the beginning of Amish life in America with this fascinating glimpse into the first ocean crossing as seen through the eyes of a devout young woman and an irreverent man. Blending the worlds of Amish and historical fiction, Fisher is sure to delight her longtime fans even as she attracts new ones with her superb and always surprise-filled writing.

Historical fiction, this was new for author Suzanne Fisher, I am happy to say I enjoyed it, but not as much as her contemporary Amish fiction which I LOVE.

The characters and the story line were very will rounded and interesting. It was just not a regular Amish fiction book you are use to by this author, but if your a fan of historical fiction I bet you will love this one. In true Suzanne Fisher fashion she brought the characters to life on every page.

I gave this book 4 stars.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
