Synopsis

This Intimate Historical Epic, the Heart-wrenching Dilemmas of The Meeting Place Come to Rest on The Sacred Shore. Oceans and circumstances have forced families apart. For the banished French Acadians drifting in exile, the shore means safety--though it is a safety at a terrible price. For the lonely British nobleman, the shore holds a single chance to secure his legacy. For Andrew and Catherine Harrow, the shore marks a tragic separation. An extraordinary set of journeys awaits them all, each as intricate and perilous as the coastline itself. New beginnings are connected to all that has come before. And the past penetrates into what is yet to come. The common thread is a yearning to discover their identities in their families, in their communities, and in their God.

It's been so hard to concentrate on books lately and I've felt really bad because I wanted to finish this one, but there's been so much going on. And on top of that, I had to get this one as EPUB when I don't have a nook! Unfair! Anyway, this book is about Antoinette and Elspeth, all grown up. Anne......more

Goodreads review by Nadine on August 15, 2014

Thoughts on the entire series. With these novels, I joined the ranks of readers who know what it is to be in the midst of a series, waiting, even with bated breath, for the next book in the series to be published. I appreciate the style and language that Bunn clearly brought into this co-written histo......more
