Based on facts, the novel tells the story of Ann Angel Waldmann whose father decides to accept their Counts offer to buy their freedom. It is set in the rural area around Osnabrueck at the turn of the 18th century, a time when old values are questioned. In spite of new ideas, individual freedom is a frightening dream for most people.
It is a time of change, where Ann Angel Waldmann, daughter of a rich farmer, has to cope with the obstacles life puts in her way.
Bestselling author Holly Lisle describes the novel as follows:
"Ann Angel’s Freedom is an amazing, beautifully researched, well-written tale of a world and a time far different from our own, but one that still resonates with the struggles we all face today. I found myself suffering with Ann and those she loved, hoping for her, and in the end cheering with her. It’s a wonderful story, made more wonderful because it’s true."

"Ann Angel's Freedom"
Many of us have done research on people who came from the vicinity of the city of Osnabrüch. We have also been helped, many of us by Anke Waldmann, to understand the local customs, such as the difference between a Vollerbe and a Halberbe.
Now this novel greatly enhances our understanding of the lives of the people circa 1800. It is very interesting in two ways: (1) it portrays the life style, and (2) it is a good story, more or less a mystery.
I highly recommend it.

"A review of "Ann Angel's Freedom" "
This book has been researched for historical accuracy by Anke Waldmann and beautifully written by Katherine Gerlach. Having recently visited this area for Donna's grandfather's family roots twice, we visited an outdoor museum which showed many of the articles, castles, shops, farms and homes that are mentioned in this book. We also visited her grandfather's actual home.
However, after spending six days total in Osnabrueck and Bad Essen areas, we still had questions about their everyday lives. Now, having read the story, "Ann Angel's Freedom", we now can understand and appreciate the early life our ancestors lived--one that is far different... More >
