Anna's Crossing: An Amish Beginnings Novel - Plot & Excerpts
Anna trailed along in the line of Amish who followed Christian Müller, and remembered that Johann had told her on a cold winter afternoon that Rotterdam was once nothing but a small fishing village. “Now it’s the main access from Europe to England.” And now to America. Anna had never been to a city. She had never been anywhere but her small German village. Now, standing on a rise that overlooked Rotterdam, looking out at the great hulls of ships in the harbor, the tall buildings that impaled the smoke and steam and heat haze, listening to the cacophony of shouting people and squeaking chains, she didn’t know whether she found it beautiful or frightening. It was a much bigger world than she had thought possible. Today, at long last, they were finally going to board the ship and set sail for the New World. Georg Schultz had been surprisingly true to his word. Yesterday, their household belongings had been placed in the hold of the ship for ballast as Christian and Josef Gerber and Isaac Mast counted everything.
