Jakob's Dream: Beyond the Palatinate

This book is not Jakob's biography. It is based on history, but a fictional story. It is the story of a man inspired by one of the author's ancestors—a man shaped by the same forces, driven by the same longings, and tested by the same frontier. It is a weaving of history and imagination, of documented truth and the spaces between where memory fades, and story begins. Jakob's dream carried him beyond the Palatinate. This is the tale of what he found—and what he became—on the far side of the ocean.
