The year was 1753, and the lines of separation were firmly drawn. the French had named the region Acadia, their "beloved home". When the British came soon after, they battled with the French on the new continent as they had in Europe for centuries.
The settlers of Acadia were either French or English, and though their villages might be but a stone's throw apart, most could go an entire lifetime without speaking to someone from the other side.
And then the chance encounter in a meadow of wild flowers...The Meeting Place

Another great book with Janette Oke.
A wonderful story beginning to the series. Couldn't put the book down once I began reading.
The copy of this title that I have listed (Carmen McNair) is an audio book on cassette tape contrary to the other review associated with this book.
I ENJOY READING ALL OF JANETTE OKE'S BOOKS BECAUSE OF THE CLEANLIENESS OF THE STORIES. THERE ARE NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE WRITINGS AND NO VOLGAR LANGUAGE......JUST THE SORT OF READING I LIKE FOR MY 15 YEAR-OLD GRANDDAUGHTER.
This is an outstanding story of Historical Christian fiction. Two young women In Arcadia, Canada, An English woman Catherine and a French woman Louise become friends. Both are Protestant Bible reading Christians. Both accept their friendship as a gift of God.Neither realize the consequences of that friendship when the French are driven out of Arcadia. The French are driven out for refusing to bear arms and stripped of land and anything that they can not carry in their hands. Both women lose someone thing that means the most to them. They only have their faith in God to comfort them.
Mankind left to their own devices are totally evil.Only in God can we overcome this evil. Not only are two nationalities of people broken, but two families suffer individually as well. A superb story told by the authors as spun out from history.
