Book One
In 1607, a young man steps ashore at Jamestown with nothing but his name and his nerve. Three hundred years later, that name still carries the weight of every crossing his bloodline dared to make.
The Blood of the Crossing Saga begins where America begins — in the mud and smoke of colonial Virginia, with a family whose story will not end for four hundred years.
8 Books. 400+ Years. One Bloodline.
From colonial settlement to the Great Depression, The Blood of the Crossing Saga follows a single American family through the wars, removals, migrations, and choices that made — and unmade — a nation.
