Description
When Elizabeth Gharsia’s headstrong nephew, Gabriel, joins Samuel Champlain’s 1608 expedition to establish a settlement at Quebec, he soon becomes embroiled in a complicated tribal conflict. As months turn into years, Gabriel appears lost to his family.
Meanwhile at home in France the death of her father, Luis, adds to Elizabeth’s anguish. Devastated by her loss, she struggles to make sense of his final words. Could her mother’s journals, found hidden among Luis’s possessions, provide the key to the mystery?
The arrival of Pedro Torres disrupts Elizabeth’s world even further. Rescued from starvation on the streets of Marseille by her brother, Pedro is a victim of the brutal expulsion of his people from Spain. Initially antagonistic, will Elizabeth come to appreciate Pedro’s qualities and to understand the complexity of her family?

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.
It took me a while to get into this book, but once I did, it was difficult to put it down! Told in alternating times and voices, this is ultimately a story about family and finding your place in it. I loved reading about the characters and each of their adventures. I wish so much that was MORE - more about Luis, more about Elizabeth, and definitely more about Gabriel and his time in New France.
Once suggestion I would have, would be to include a family tree at the beginning of the book instead of just a list of characters.
I will definitely be looking for more books from this author!
