Product Description

Book 5 of Song of Acadia. In their own incomparable style, Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn paint a portrait both lavish and poignant of the colorful, chaotic world of the American Revolution, where danger is rife and political views run deep. And once drawn into that world, readers will be reluctant to reemerge until the last triumphant chapter has drawn to a close. Learning of their beloved father's precariously ill health, Anne and Nicole make separate plans to visit him in Georgetown, in spite of the dangerous instability of the times. Nicole travels from Massachussetts with her fiancé, while Anne and her husband must brave an arduous transatlantic crossing from England. But the hazards of travel are not to be compared to the events or struggles with which each of these "sisters of the heart" must ultimately come to terms.

Customer Reviews

Could someone please explaine
Ok, not to give anything away, but I've got to have this figured out for me. I've missed something. In the first book The Meeting Place Louise's name is Louise Belleveau, daughter of Jacques Belleveau, with two brothers Eli and Philippi. Now it the last book Nicole delares her mothers name to be Celeste Louise Evangeline Brassard, before marrying Henri Robichaud, and the letter from Charles states that (Celeste) Louise's mother had three children and only one lived to adulthood being Louise herself. Did I miss something? Information on her mother dieing seems to be know before the deportment of the Acadians according to the Charles' investigation, though her mother was on the boat with her which is when the investigator says there is thereafter no further information.

The other thing I can't figure is where Uncle Guy comes from. He is Guy Robichaud in TBL, appearing to be Henri's brother, but then it seemed in TMP Henri was an only child, though not stated. And in The Sacred Shore it says: "He (Henri) slowed and waited for Louise's brother to hurry over. Henri had always liked Guy."

Although another reviewer missunderstood that Celeste was actually the name of two different characters, first the name of John's father's first wife but also the part of Louise's name. They missed the fact that she was named after her Grandmother, thus confirming her decent from John's half-sister.

All this said I found the entire Acadia series gripping, inspirational, challenging and it sparked a desire for a closer walk with God.

I hope there will be more...
I have enjoyed this series since the beginning. This was a wonderful book. Finally, everyone is back together. Andrew has been sick, so both girls make journeys to see their parents. Anne comes from England with her husband, and Nicole comes from Massachusetts with her fiance.

Nicole is still looking for somewhere to call home, since she doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere. Anne has found a home, but is looking for something to do to help people.

The book is well written and moving. You can't help but feel for these families who mean sooo much to eachother. The mystery that is solved at the end brings it all together.

Hopefully, there is another book.

The saga continues.......
I have loved all the stories in the Song of Acadia and I hope that there are more to come. I completed the reading of this story in only three days. Once started it is almost impossible to put down.
This story is the continuation of Louise and Catherine's story which started in The Meeting Place and the lives of their daughters Anne and Nicole. At the end of this book the two families find that are bound more closely together in a way they could only imagine.
However, there may be a mistake in the story line. As another reviewer mentioned, I remember Louise's mother leaving Acadia in The Meeting Place with her family. My memory may be wrong;but, never the less it is still a great story.
Once again the fervrent love of God and his will among our lives through prayer and His answers is the cornerstone of this story.
A wonderful story. One you will not want to miss.
