Publisher's Synopsis
An adventure that will intrigue a historian, genealogist, or a fan of well researched historical fiction. The difficult times of the 18th century German Palatinate, force three families to leave their homeland. Their journey takes them from their homes, down the Rhine to Rotterdam, then on to England. They continue across the Atlantic and up the Delaware River to Philadelphia, a city of about twenty thousand in 1720. There they must part; each must travel toward his own dream, into the Lancaster Plain, up the Schuylkill River, and finally into the Pennsylvania frontier. It is a story of families held together by love for each other. A story of human struggle and resilience, written to put you in awe of your immigrant ancestors.
