Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âAn engaging, engrossing debut.ââGreer Macallister, USA Today bestselling author of The Magicianâs Lie
Bound for a new continent, and a new beginning.
In her illuminating debut novel, Aimie K. Runyan masterfully blends fact and fiction to explore the founding of New France through the experiences of three young women who, in 1667, answer Louis XIVâs call and journey to the Canadian colony.
They are known as the filles du roi, or âKingâs Daughtersââyoung women who leave prosperous France for an uncertain future across the Atlantic. Their duty is to marry and bring forth a new generation of loyal citizens. Each prospective bride has her reason for leavingâpoverty, family rejection, a broken engagement. Despite their different backgrounds, Rose, Nicole, and Elisabeth all believe that marriage to a stranger is their best, perhaps only, chance of happiness.
Once in Quebec, Elisabeth quickly accepts baker Gilbert Beaumont, who wants a business partner as well as a wife. Nicole, a farmerâs daughter from Rouen, marries a charming officer who promises comfort and security. Scarred by her traumatic past, Rose decides to take holy vows rather than marry. Yet no matter how carefully she chooses, each will be tested by hardship and heartbreaking lossâand sustained by the strength found in their uncommon friendship, and the precarious freedom offered by their new home.
âAn absorbing adventure with heart.ââJennifer Laam, author of The Secret Daughter of the Tsar
