Book Description

A small Georgia town paralyzed with disease.
Two women secluded in a remote cabin.
Only one man stands between them and death.

It's 1918 when newlywed Bea Dot Ferguson leaves her posh Savannah lifestyle to visit her cousin in rural Pineview, Georgia. Her purpose: to escape an abusive husband, who knows her shameful secret. Immediately, she learns she's traded one perilous situation for another, for Pineview has been infected with deadly Spanish influenza. With the help of Great War veteran Will Dunaway, Bea Dot finds herself fighting for survival, not only against her husband's brutality, but also against the deadliest virus the world has ever known.

Review

Praise for Dunaway's Crossing:

Rita Herron, bestselling author of Sleepless in Savannah and other novels:
"Rarely do I find a book that takes me back in time so beautifully."

Lisbeth Thom, author of Row Away from the Rocks:
"[Nancy Brandon] does an excellent job of putting her reader on the scene...and she adds a mountain of conflict, suspense, and a touching love story."

Mimi Barbour, author of She's Me and His Devious Angel:
"I quickly became enamored with the characters...The facts were accurately depicted...I'll be looking for more from this author!"

From the Author

One reader describes Dunaway's Crossing as "a little like The Help but much better" and a cross between "James Lee Burke and Laura Ingalls Wilder...with a little Fried Green Tomatoes mixed in."

Step back in time in the rural South with this gripping page turner, Nancy Brandon's debut novel, which combines history, romance, and adventure set amidst a turning point in the American past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read March 22, 2012
By Sabra
Format:Kindle Edition
Nancy Brandon's writing beautifully captures rural Georgia. Her characters are well developed and entertaining. They are the kind of folks you'd like to invite for dinner. Except Ben. He's the kind you hope will just step into a forgotten bear trap. I would recommend Dunaway's Crossing to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining Story March 26, 2012
By Anne
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dunaway's Crossing is a historical fiction romance and a story of domestic violence. This first novel by Nancy Brandon set in 1918 is a really good read. It makes the black person's situation, womens' station in life and a soldier returning from WW 1 come alive. Set in middle Georgia, you will recognize the locale if you're from Macon, Savannah or Atlanta. I want to read more by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read--I Highly Recommend April 2, 2012
By One of the Magnificent Seven
Format:Kindle Edition
I'm a guy, so I would usually not read a book written with a female protagonist. But I read this book because the author is from my home town. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. Yes, it's about two women, but the challenges they face against the influenza pandemic are enough to keep a male reader interested. I don't want to spoil the book for other readers, but there's an element of action and adventure in this book as well. Definitely, female readers will LOVE this book, and male readers will like it as well. I think it would also make a good movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars More romance than history
This book should have been listed under romance rather than historical fiction. The writing was good and the story flowed, but I kept hoping for more substance and less romance.
