Facing West: A Conrad Amberger Story by Carol Morgan Hart
Carol Morgan Hart is the author of a new historical novel titled Facing West: A Conrad Amberger Story.
Carol just completed her first book, a historical novel based on Conrad Amburger, a German immigrant who went west to start a new life in 1717. She has researched this book extensively, has attended Germanna Foundation workshops, and has followed in the footsteps of Conrad and other characters both to Bonnigheim, GrossGartach, Schwaigern, Heilbronn, Kircheim am Neckar to the Falls of the Rappahannock, Germanna, Mt. Pony, and Deep Run.
She did not always find the answers to the questions, but she tried to absorb the environment of the characters.
Additional information on the novel can be found online at http://home.comcast.net/~morganhart/site/
