Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

In 1753, the French and British settlers of Acadia are divided by threats of war. Realizing that fighting will surely break out if the British government demands oaths of loyalty from the French settlers, Catherine Price hopes for the best and continues to plan her wedding to Lieutenant Andrew Harrow. Louise Belleveau is also planning to marry, and the two women meet accidentally while picking wildflowers for their wedding bouquets. They quickly form a bond, only to have their friendship threatened by the growing tension between their two societies. Oke and Bunn's (The Matchmakers, LJ 11/1/97) huge readership should find much to enjoy in this smoothly written romantic adventure, though others may be put off by the overstated messages about peace, love, and the importance of God.

1.0 out of 5 stars Typically tiring Oke, April 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Meeting Place (Hardcover)
All of Oke's heroine blush, shiver, quiver, quake, day dream, dream, and cry. They are ALL the same. Delicate, (though they do do the proverbial "squaring of shoulders, lifting of chins in every book) stupid, golden heart do-gooders.

There is very little REALNESS in her books. People just do not act that way.

Secondly, OH GAWD the writing is tiresome. On and on and on about every minute detail repeat ... repeat ... just filling up space. I think Oke thinks all her readers are stupid and have to have it all s-p-e-l-l-e-d out.

If this book was cut in half it may have been ok.

Now I know why I had sworn off Oke about 15 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing Two Worlds Togethe, Oct 29 2002
By Brandi (Indiana) - See all my reviews
In New France just north of the New England lies the land of Acadia. In the land of Acadia there are both French and English. A Frenchman would never go into an English village and an English man would never go into a French village. They may never talk to each other all their lives. It was just never done.

Catherine, an English woman, and Louise, a French woman, would change all that when they meet and become friends. They don't care if the other is English or French they form a bond that is like sisters.

Both women soon marry and have children. Soon everything changes and something happens that will change their lives forever.

Janette Oke does a wonderful job of bringing these two worlds together. If you read this book you'll have to read the rest of the series because you'll want to know what happens next.
