Product Description

Romantic Times, March 2002

"Well-written, with a strong and unique plot and endearing characters. The authors have an excellent understanding of the historical era." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

"Anne's sorrow over her husband's death has been eased by the unexpected discovery of his heritage in the Harrow family and by her marriage to a brilliant young theologian. But Nicole is as restless as ever and has decided to retutn to North America. Should she go to the Acadian family of her childhood in Louisiana's bayous? Or should she settle in Nova Scotia near her birth parents? The American colonies are in revolt against England, and Uncle Charles asks her to go to Massachusetts to oversee his extensive landholdings. The attentions of the ship's captain during the crossing touch a yearning deep within her, but she also realizes all her loyalties are about to be tested. Is she French? Is she English? Is she a supporter of the American cause? Nicole's unique legacy will allow her to play an extraordinary role in the unfolding historic events, but will she be able to find a home for her heart?"

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not historically accurate, May 8 2004
By Meg "icecat516" (Caribou, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Distant Beacon #4 (Hardcover)
It was a really good book that I got deep into, but I must admit the historical perspective of the book was off in places. That did not take away from this gripping story. This was my first book I've read in this series, so it took me a while to understand the ins and outs of ths story. For people who may be reading this, I would recommend you read the other books in the series first so you don't encounter the same problem I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, Feb 4 2003
By A. Merritt (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While Anne settles in England, Nicole sets off to oversee her Uncle Charles's property in Massachusetts. Gordon Goodwin acts as her guide as she first visits her parents, then traverses towards Massachusetts. War and devastation lie in her way.
As Nicole travels, she wonders if she will ever truly find a home, and if she will ever find the right man's love.

Messages of courageous faith, forgiveness, and love are woven into this book. I won't give away the exciting twists and turns, but I will say that I loved this riveting and well-written book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling!, Jul 30 2002
By C. Jurjevich "cp-68" (atmore, alabama United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I realized what a glorious text this was after I read thru it for the second time. The first time thru I got the impression that the storyline was somewhat scattered. But I was wrong. Thank you, Mrs. Oke and Mr. Bunn, for keeping the language and mannerisms true to the era and cultures portrayed in the books. Nothing is more disappointing and annoying than for the characters in the book to suddenly take on 20th century attitudes and conduct. A precious story...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but not the best in the series
So far, I have enjoyed this series very much. However, I thought that book 3 was the best so far. This book is the story of Nicole, more than anyone else, trying to find her... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the 'Song of Acadia' Series.....
This may very well be the best book yet in the series. The story line is very believable and unpredictable. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading
This book was very good. It just came yesterday and I finished it today. I was happy to discover that there will be a 5th book as there are many questions left unanswered. Read more
