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.

I enjoy Christian historical romance novels, and Amish romantic fiction. Anna's Crossing is a superb combination of both. And who would have thought a full length novel covering just over three months confined on a small ship could be so fascinating. There was a bit of everything that I need to make a good read - romance, humour, drama, tragedy, suspense, mystery and inspiration. The hero, Bairn, was extremely lovable despite his rough past. Anna, the heroine, was supremely kind and a fine reflection of and witness to the nature of Christ. Felix, the young boy, added both lightness and depth with his sense of adventure and his love of life. I very much appreciated the author's notes at the back, in which Suzanne Woods Fisher authenticated aspects of the story historically, making it all the more poignant. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
