Ok, not to give anything away, but I've got to have this figured out for me. I've missed something. In the first book The Meeting Place Louise's name is Louise Belleveau, daughter of Jacques Belleveau, with two brothers Eli and Philippi. Now it the last book Nicole delares her mothers name to be Celeste Louise Evangeline Brassard, before marrying Henri Robichaud, and the letter from Charles states that (Celeste) Louise's mother had three children and only one lived to adulthood being Louise herself. Did I miss something? Information on her mother dieing seems to be know before the deportment of the Acadians according to the Charles' investigation, though her mother was on the boat with her which is when the investigator says there is thereafter no further information.

The other thing I can't figure is where Uncle Guy comes from. He is Guy Robichaud in TBL, appearing to be Henri's brother, but then it seemed in TMP Henri was an only child, though not stated. And in The Sacred Shore it says: "He (Henri) slowed and waited for Louise's brother to hurry over. Henri had always liked Guy."

Although another reviewer missunderstood that Celeste was actually the name of two different characters, first the name of John's father's first wife but also the part of Louise's name. They missed the fact that she was named after her Grandmother, thus confirming her decent from John's half-sister.

All this said I found the entire Acadia series gripping, inspirational, challenging and it sparked a desire for a closer walk with God.

I have enjoyed this series since the beginning. This was a wonderful book. Finally, everyone is back together. Andrew has been sick, so both girls make journeys to see their parents. Anne comes from England with her husband, and Nicole comes from Massachusetts with her fiance.

Nicole is still looking for somewhere to call home, since she doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere. Anne has found a home, but is looking for something to do to help people.

The book is well written and moving. You can't help but feel for these families who mean sooo much to eachother. The mystery that is solved at the end brings it all together.

Hopefully, there is another book.

I have loved all the stories in the Song of Acadia and I hope that there are more to come. I completed the reading of this story in only three days. Once started it is almost impossible to put down.
This story is the continuation of Louise and Catherine's story which started in The Meeting Place and the lives of their daughters Anne and Nicole. At the end of this book the two families find that are bound more closely together in a way they could only imagine.
However, there may be a mistake in the story line. As another reviewer mentioned, I remember Louise's mother leaving Acadia in The Meeting Place with her family. My memory may be wrong;but, never the less it is still a great story.
Once again the fervrent love of God and his will among our lives through prayer and His answers is the cornerstone of this story.
A wonderful story. One you will not want to miss.

I probably notice the history content more then I should due to my schooling, but other then that, the book was pretty good. I felt this book was meant to tie up all the loose ends that had come about in the other books from the series. At times this book can come across preachy, but that's just my opinion. I liked this book, but enjoyed the others more.

Before Nicole left England, Thomas and Anne were becoming close. Nicole knew Thomas. Later, in America, when Nicole and Anne met again, Nicole said to Anne, "I like your Thomas." She already knew him. Did the writer forget? Little slips like that bug me.

This was the final book in a series, Song of Acadia. I have enjoyed this series very much. The final in the series closed it out in a very good way. Reading this series in order is a must. One almost has to to really understand each sequel. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good plot--seeing it to the end and feeling satisfied after completing the series. I share books I like with friends and have already shared this series with one of them. Elaine Fay

Loved all 5 books in this set. This one wove all the lives of the characters into an ending that did not leave you hanging, but you would not have guess how it would end either. Could not put it down!!!

This book was received in good time and in excellent condition. There are no marks, creases, tears, or stains on it anywhere. I am very pleased with the service, the product and the price.

I do not enjoy reading bare fact history, but when it is made to come alive, with history woven throughout the story, it is exciting.

This book completed my series (Song of Acadia) and I truly enjoyed the entire series.

I liked the Song of Acadia series but I was a bit disappointed in how it ended. Not sure what happened to the little boy :(
