- The first book in this series, "Winter's Wrath," followed a small band of Palatines as they fled their German homes, devastated by the unending wars with the French and the brutal winter of 1708-09, to make their way up the Rhine to Amsterdam. This second book of this series follows them from The Netherlands over the North Sea to a prolonged stay in London as the government and church leaders tried to deal with their growing thousands seeking passage and land in Queen Anne's New World colonies. From a direct descendant of these Palatine immigrants comes a well-crafted telling of danger, adventure, good humor and the resilience of the human spirit. The true story of this incredible migration weaves history and fiction into a compelling narrative.
