"Once again, Amirault Camelin charts a course deep into history and this time takes us on an epic Acadian journey of resilience and return. Vividly told through Ange’s eyes, readers discover what it means to come home by weathering longing and loss, celebrating love and new life, and looking forward in hope. A richly crafted, deeply immersive portrait of a people holding a steady course over sea, soil, and struggles— ever-anchored by faith and family." - Caroline Pignat, Governor General's Award Winner (2009 and 2015)
"What a great read! Much has been written about the Acadian deportation, but little about their time in exile and their return home. Amirault Camelin fills that need, and does so in a delightfully entertaining way. A richly detailed, adventure-filled novel you’ll be eager to read and share." - Patrick d’Entremont, author, Acadian Shorelines
