Description
Bea Dot Ferguson has a life many in Savannah envy: a wealthy husband, a luxurious house, a baby on the way. But appearances are deceiving. To hide a terrible secret, Bea Dot married a man she didn’t love—only to suffer his brutality later on. When her cousin Netta invites her for a visit in rural Pineview, Georgia, Bea Dot jumps at the chance to escape. But she soon learns she’s traded one perilous situation for another—Pineview has been infected with deadly Spanish influenza. As the epidemic escalates, Bea Dot and Netta must fight for survival. With the help of Will Dunaway, a recently returned Great War veteran, Bea Dot draws upon strength she never knew she had. As she and Will desperately try to avoid contagion, their mutual attraction grows, making them both the target of her husband’s wrath.
A sweeping Southern tale of hope and betrayal, love and loss, Dunaway’s Crossing is a moving testament to the strength of the human spirit.

A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
Finalist for the 2013 Georgia Author of the Year Award.
Ms.
Brandon captured my history-loving heart with Dunaway's Crossing, set
in South Georgia around 1918. Brandon brings women's rights at this
pivotal point in history to the forefront with a dead-on vision through
her characters Bea Dot and Netta. [The novel weaves] panic, tragedy, and
everyday life as the Spanish Influenza wreaks havoc in Pineview,
Georgia. Brandon joins only a few of her contemporaries to approach this
part of history with courage, compassion, and reality. —Ann Hite,
author of The Storycatcher and judge for GAYA award
"[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." —Lisbeth Thom, author of Row Away from the Rocks
"Through the talent of Ms. Brandon, I quickly became enamoured with the characters...and couldn't put the book down. A well-written, wonderful read!" —Mimi Barbour, author of His Devious Angel and other books
