Madawaska — Willo Davis Roberts

Banished from their Nova Scotia homeland, they vowed to return with a will as fierce and mighty as the land that was theirs.

1755. It was a golden summer for newly married Soleil and Remi Michaud. But their peaceful life - and the lives of all French Acadians - was soon to be shattered.

Forced from their homes by the ruling English, families were separated - husbands from wives, children from parents. For Soleil and Remie, it was the beginning of nearly three decades of struggle and desperation, of love and heartbreak...of anguish and triumph.

Here is the magnificent story of a people tyranny could not break...whose heart held a song of eternal hope for a majestic land that held the promise of a lifetime.
