Marta’s Promise

Marta’s Promise

Marta’s Promise
A Novel
by Jeanne Dennis and Sheila Seifert
As Marta Ebel leaves her German homeland illegally in 1766 to seek a new life in Russia, a five-year-old boy is unexpectedly left in her care. To save them both, she must put her trust in a handsome French rogue who passes himself off as a fellow emigrant. On her perilous journey, Marta discovers the real meaning of faith and the true cost of love.
Brimming with the spirit of new hope amid dramatic uncertainties and physical hardships, the story of German relocation in the 1700s comes to life in these remarkable pages. It’s not a story of the past as much as a story of human endeavor, challenges, dangers, and faith.

What an intriguing and powerful novel! Authentic characters draw readers into a suspenseful 1766 story of survival in Germany; then in Russia. It’s full of vivid descriptions of action, sights, smells, and sounds. Emotions run high as characters face one complication after another. They discover truths about themselves, about those they love, and about God’s faithfulness. Jeanne Dennis and Sheila Seifert have given us a well-researched, wonderful story.
