A Powerful Story with a Slow Start

“The story is beautiful, and the historical detail is impressive, but it took me a few chapters to get fully into it. Once it picked up, though, I was completely hooked. It’s definitely worth the read.”

Beautifully Written but Dense in Parts

“This book is stunning, but there were moments where the pacing slowed due to the heavy details. Still, the characters and story were so well done that I didn’t mind too much.”

A Solid Historical Novel

“I really enjoyed the book, but a few sections felt overly descriptive, which pulled me out of the story. That said, the characters are fantastic, and the emotional depth is top-notch.”

Almost Perfect

“The emotional weight of this story is undeniable, and the writing is fantastic. I docked half a star because I felt the ending left a couple of questions unanswered, but it’s still a brilliant read.”

A Deep and Thoughtful Story

“I loved the characters and the way the story unfolded, but a few sections felt slower than necessary. Still, the overall impact of the book is so strong that it’s a small critique.”

A Story That Feels Real

Vivid and Emotional

“I felt like I was right there in 18th-century Nova Scotia. The writing is so detailed, and the characters are so human—flawed, determined, and incredibly relatable. It’s one of those stories that sticks with you long after you finish it.”

A Beautifully Woven Tale

“This is more than a historical novel—it’s an emotional journey. The way Gosselin writes about faith and resilience is powerful. I cried more than once, but I also felt uplifted. Highly recommended!”

Immersive and Inspiring

An Incredible Reading Experience

A Moving, Thoughtful Novel

“It’s rare to find a book that’s both historically rich and emotionally impactful. Every character felt so real, and their journey kept me glued to the pages. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.”

Masterful Storytelling

“I couldn’t put this book down. Gosselin has a way of making history feel alive. The family’s story is heartbreaking but also filled with moments of hope. It’s the kind of book you want everyone to read.”
