About the Book

THE WINTERKEEPER is a coming of age story, a love story and a wonderful story for Book Club discussions. This intergenerational mainstream novel (inspired by a news piece about a man who has been Yellowstone's 'Winter Keeper' for decades) has crossover potential to the YA market and would appeal to readers of THE ORPHAN TRAIN [Christina Baker Kline, William Morrow, 2013] or Irma Joubert's THE GIRL FROM THE TRAIN. [Thomas Nelson, 2015] The combined elements of the Depression era, the small town setting, a cast of strong secondary characters and the seemingly disparate but ultimately connected events driving each of the main characters make for a story that will keep readers turning the pages. In addition to the novels mentioned above, like the classic TRUE GRIT [Charles Portis, Simon and Schuster, 1968]-- resourceful young girl on a mission who needs older loner man's help-- THE WINTER KEEPER differs with the addition of the older man's spouse--and the challenges they must face that impact not only their marriage, but also Millie. Readers who enjoy THE BOOK THIEF [Markus Zusak, Alfred A. Knopf, 2007] will also find parallels in the story of a young girl basically on her own in chaotic and traumatic times who connects with a stranger with his own problems. In THE WINTER KEEPER, the war raging is the Great Depression and the enemy is a desperate businessman who needs the protagonist's inheritance. There are also parallels to National Book Award Finalist Paulette Jiles' NEWS OF THE WORLD [William Morrow, 2016]--loner older man reluctantly rescuing young orphan girl. In THE WINTER KEEPER the three main characters face their own unique and ultimately life-threatening obstacles.

About the Author :
With a successful career in genre fiction (with sales close to a million copies), Anna Schmidt is ready to head in a new direction. Her popular WWII inspy series THE PEACEMAKERS and her contemporary story about the Florida Mennonite community (A SISTER'S FORGIVENESS) both published by Barbour whet her appetite for telling larger, more complex stories. After earning a Master of Arts degree in Theater Arts from the University of Cincinnati, Jo received a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Council and national Endowment for the Arts to write a two-act play about the Holocaust. She was also a quarter-finalist in the nationally respected Nicholl Screenwriting Competition, and her screenplay was optioned for production. She has worked in professional theater companies in Virginia and Wisconsin. While employed in marketing and communication for two international companies, she wrote three books on eldercare published by AARP as well as Parkinson's Disease for Dummies published by Wiley and Sons (all under her maiden name: Jo Horne). She has also taught at the college level and is a popular presenter of hands-on workshops. She is a member of Novelists, Inc. (NINC), Historic Novel Society (HNS), andThe Author's Guild and regularly attends writing workshops and conferences to speak, learn and stay in touch.

Review :
Schmidt seamlessly integrates these actual events, and the courageous real-life individuals who fought against Hitler's regime, with her fictional characters and their story, to produce a strong tale of hope and love in the face of insurmountable obstacles. Peacemakers Trilogy -- Publishers Weekly Anna Schmidt takes us back to Pinecraft, Fl and her Women of Pinecraft series with this compelling novel set in this Mennonite community. It's a story about love of family, dealing with death and anger and finding forgiveness. It's about learning to seek forgiveness from others and to give forgiveness. Your heart will be blessed by this story. Viki Ferrell - Fresh Fiction Strong, well-developed characters fill the pages of this novel, which highlights both sizzling romance and the trials of the Old West. THE RANCHER --Publisher's Weekly
