Publisher's summary

In a land torn apart by conflict, can love mend the tattered pieces?

As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada’s Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family—French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral—are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war, and William Blackburn, the British Army Ranger raising havoc across North America’s borderlands.

As summer takes hold in 1755 and British ships appear on the horizon, Sylvie encounters Blackburn, who warns her of the coming invasion. Rather than participate in the forced removal of the Acadians from their land, he resigns his commission. But that cannot save Sylvie or her kin.

Relocated on a ramshackle ship to Virginia, Sylvie struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. When her path crosses once more with William’s, they must work through the complex tangle of their shared, shattered past to navigate the present and forge an enduring future.

A love of three strands

I loved everything about this book. Especially the way she weaves our Lord’s hand through the lives of the characters. Laura Frantz teaches with her story telling and in doing so leads us closer to God. Truly amazing.

interesting characters. Will is one of my favorite leading men.

the story has a slow begging but hang in there ots worth it and the back story is needed to support the rest of the story. All together a wonderful read of trials and tragedy that are overcome through time and love.

Love it!

Laura Frantz is an auto buy author for me. I love her books. Their are lush and complex in plot and her characters are memorable and well written. She is dedicated to historical detail which is important to me in historical fiction.

The Seamstress of Arcadie is beautifully written and was set during a time in history I didn’t know a lot about except for Longfellow’s poem. I didn’t want it to end. Another excellent book by this author!

The audio book narration was excellent as well.

Stoled My Heart ♥️

Another EXCELLENT book from Laura Frantz!!! It was hard to come to the end of this book and I look forward to another Arcadian story to follow this one. There is something extraordinary about Laura Frantz books that make her my one of my Favorite authors. Pilar Witherspoon is also one of my favorite narrators. Combining Pilar Witherspoon’s narration with a book written by Laura Frantz creates a spectacular experience. Thank You! 😊

Overall a great book

Laura Frantz is one of my favorite authors! This wasn’t my favorite books she’s done but I enjoyed it. I did not care for the narrator, she was very monotone at times making it hard to focus. I had to keep rewinding parts because I didn’t understand what was even happening.
