Book 2: The Jenische Blood

Ancient people spoke of sacred places where Earth and heaven intersect. We never know when or where these elusive passages might appear. Such a threshold was once revealed to Greta Beck, a young German Baptist Brethren wife, before she journeyed to America with her husband, Oscar.

This otherworldly experience is just the beginning for three generations of the Beck German immigrants. Follow Greta and her family as they toil through farm life, technological changes, a pandemic, racial discrimination, the Great Depression, two world wars, and other dramatic events during the first half of the twentieth century. Through all the hardships and loss, Greta maintains her stalwart dedication to family and God-along with just a touch of stubborn curiosity. Will her faith and her mysterious encounter from long ago be enough to protect her and her family in this rapidly changing, tumultuous new world?

In the gripping sequel to The Jenische Stones, Annie Bowman Malloy's journey to uncover her true heritage takes her from Indiana back to Germany. Adopted from Nazi Germany as a child, Annie is haunted by dreams of her birth mother, whom she believes was imprisoned during the war. Her search leads her to Olga Kravetz, a Jenische seer living in Berlin. As political turmoil erupts with the construction of the Berlin Wall, Annie and Olga's reunion is threatened, but a mysterious event allows them to escape to America.

Six years later, Annie's twin cousins, Rupert and Oscar, face their own battles during the Vietnam War. While Rupert avoids the draft, Oscar enlists as a Navy Medical Corpsman and returns disillusioned by the war and society's disdain.
