On the docks of Port Philadelphia waits bishop Jacob Bauer, founder of the settlement and father to ship carpenter Bairn. It's a time of new beginnings for the reunited Bauer family, and for Anna and Bairn's shipboard romance to blossom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut this perfect moment cannot last. As Bairn grasps the reality of what it means to be Amish in the New World--isolated, rigid with expectations, under the thumb of his domineering father--his enthusiasm evaporates. When a sea captain offers the chance to cross the ocean one more time, Bairn grabs it. Just one more crossing, he promises Anna. But will she wait for him?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Henrik Newman joins the church just as it makes its way to the frontier, Anna is torn. He seems to be everything Bairn is not--bold, devoted, and delighted to vie for her heart. And the most dramatic difference? He is here; Bairn is not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from the frontier, an unexpected turn of events weaves together the lives of Bairn, Anna, and Henrik. When a secret is revealed, which true love will emerge?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzanne Woods Fisher\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning, bestselling author of more than a dozen novels, including\u003ci\u003e Anna's Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e, The Bishop's Family series, and The Inn at Eagle Hill series, as well as nonfiction books about the Amish, including \u003ci\u003eAmish Peace\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of the Amish\u003c\/i\u003e.
