Description As Books The Meeting Place (Song of Acadia #1)
A Chance Encounter Forever Changed Their Lives--and Destinies.Crafted by two masters of inspirational fiction--Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn--and combining the engaging historical settings, rich characterization, and heartwarming messages quintessential to both authors, The Meeting Place is another timeless story for you to cherish.
Set along the rugged coastline of 18th century Canada in what was then called Acadia (now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), The Meeting Place re-creates a world that was home to native Indians, French settlers, and English garrisons. Such diverse populations did not live in accord, however. Instead, they were isolated within their own groups by a brewing political tension under the difficult English rule.
Amid such chaotic times two women, both about to become brides and both trying to live lives of quiet peace, meet in a lush field of wildflowers. Louisa, a Frenchwoman, and Catherine, who is English, continue to meet secretly through the seasons, sharing both friendship and growing faith.
The outside world does not mirror their own tranquil happiness, and the dreaded crackdown by the English throne threatens far more than their growing bond. In the face of a heart-wrenching dilemma, Louisa and Catherine strive to maintain their faith and cling to their dreams of family and home.
Winner of the Christy Award, presented by the Christian Bookseller Association to honor the best in Christian fiction.

Thoughts on the entire series.With these novels, I joined the ranks of readers who know what it is to be in the midst of a series, waiting, even with bated breath, for the next book in the series to be published.I appreciate the style and language that Bunn clearly brought into this co-written historical fiction saga with Oke. I remember being totally engrossed and on edge during a certain crucial stretch in The Meeting Place and was floored by the unembellished end to that nerve-racking rush:Watching the Janette Oke series called "Cedar Cove" made me want to check out more of her books and I found this one at the library. The first in the series about a part of the world and a part of history I knew nothing about. During the 18th century, French settlers in the southeastern (I think) part of Canada lived in a small French controlled area surrounded by British settlements. The two groups of people did not mingle as the British were very wary of the French and did not like them since
A gentle, faith-filled tale as readers expect of Janette Oke, author of eight Love Comes Softly books and a dozen Women of the West. Not really historical fiction so much as Christian fiction in a historical setting. (view spoiler)[Historical errors abound: Fort Edward was just four years old when the story opens, not seventy as Oke reports. Likewise, Louisburg was already in England hands. Muttonchop sideburns were almost a century in the future. (hide spoiler)]If the story suffers at all, it
It was hard to put this book down. I just wish it didn't leave me hanging at the end.
