Summary: A nice historical book.
Review: This book was ok i had a hard time getting into it but once i did i found it to be a sweet story. I liked the setting and how she used two people who were supposed to be enemies and showed that in spite of it all you can be kind to your enemies and even be best friends. The ending will definitely surprise you.It was a good book but i'm more into romance and it didn't really have any romance in it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book was the greatest
Review: This book was the best one the two of you have written yet. I can't wait for the next one to come out!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exceptional
Review: This is the first novel I have read of either of the authors and find there writing to be very enlightening. What a wonderful story. I especially enjoyed how the women's prayer life and daily bible readings became a very special and important part of their friendship as well as there marriage. The story does start out slow, but once through the first two chapters it was hard to put down. I can't wait to read the sequel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: my review
Review: This is the story of two women who belong to two different cultures but yet have become very good friends, almost soul sisters. Fate deals them a very hard hand, and through love and faith, they are able to survive.

I had never learned about the history of this region and about the Acadians. I was glad to be able to learn it through a historical novel!

The characters are very real and are very well presented throughout the story. The plot also flows very well and the story remains interesting til the end.

Once you read this book, you must continue with the sequel: "The Sacred Shore".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Tale of Two Best Friends...
Review: This was the first book I read by Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn, and I think it's my favorite of their joint novels. It tells of two women who, despite the prejudice between their people, become best friends. This friendship leads to a decision with heart-wrenching consequences.

This story leaves you hanging, so I'd suggest reading its sequel also, _The Sacred Shore._

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: This was the most boring book I have ever read in my life. I couldn't get through it fast enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Uplifting, yet heartwrenching!
Review: Unlike many other readers, I was captivated from the beginning. Being Acadian, and having spent four years in the area, I could picture the dikes and the bluff. It is yet another masterpiece by two very gifted writers.

The deportation of the Acadians is a tragic moment in history, and the authors manage to capture it and the events leading up to the forced exodus very well. I read this book primarily during my English class when my students had their silent reading time. The end had me crying infront of my students. I was so wrapped up in the characters and their story, that I was caught off guard by the end....even though I knew historically what was coming.

I can't wait to read the next one!!

Summary: Historical inaccuracies are unforgiveable.
Review: We learn through reading and we expect that authors of historical novels will do accurate research. Just think how much better this book would have been if Louise had been Catholic. The friendship of the two young women would have encouraged tolerance and the story's ending would have been far more suspenseful.
