Gleaned background...travelling in Anne Marie's footsteps...

"You began your search in Nova Scotia, visiting La Have, Bear River, Port-Royal and Grand-Pré, not forgetting Louisbourg and Chéticamp and myriad places in-between. In each place you've gleaned some piece of your background, which you've willingly shared with us. Your writing flows so smoothly and interestingly that we follow your steps willingly, hating to put the book down for any reason, short of a heart attack.  Your story was so moving that, at times, the hair would stand up on the back of my neck. I really had the sensation that you were travelling in Anne-Marie's footsteps and that she was accompanying you on your journey!

Thank you for bringing our ancestors to life for us, hardships and all, and for helping us understand the tough times they experienced throughout their lives. All in all, Marie, this was an enthralling read!"
