In early 18th-century Quebec, a headstrong young girl must make difficult decisions after she defies convention and buys a slave his freedom.

About the Author

Maxine Trottier Maxine Trottier, award-winning author of numerous picture books, novels and non-fiction works, was born in Grosse Point Farms, Michigan, and moved to Canada with her family at the age of ten. Her inspiration as an author has often come from her ancestors — French habitants and the Miami people. Maxine lives with her husband, William, in Port Stanley, Ontario.

From the Critics

The story draws us in quickly, the narrative unfolds smoothly, and period details are accurate without being intrusive. ... While there’s plenty to hold the interest in good younger readers, the issues raised should engage older, more sophisticated readers as well.

    Amazing Book!!! 5

    4 months ago

    I've read the book approximately 10 times now, and I just started again. The book is written very well, the plot is intriguing but easy to follow. The characters are also very well written and the dynamic between the two lead characters is beautifully written. It is also quite accurate in terms of facts about the time period. I would LOVE to hear what happens next to Cecile and Lesharo!!! Over all a great read.

It is AMAING! Definatly worth the price!
