Judith Pella’s standalone novels sit outside her many series and offer self-contained historical stories. Beloved Stranger (1998) and Mark of the Cross (2006) each transport readers to a different time period with their own cast of characters.
For readers who want to try Pella’s writing without committing to a multi-book series, these standalones provide a good sample of her style and interests. Both reflect her consistent focus on faith, historical detail, and characters tested by their circumstances.
