In This Intimate Historical Epic, the Heart-wrenching Dilemmas
of The Meeting Place Come to Rest on...The Sacred Shore
Oceans and circumstances have forced families apart. For the
banished French Acadians drifting in exile, the shore means
safety--though it is a safety at a terrible price. For the lonely
British nobleman, the shore holds a single chance to secure his
legacy. For Andrew and Catherine Harrow, the shore marks a tragic
separation.
An extraordinary set of journeys awaits them all, each as intricate
and perilous as the coastline itself. New beginnings are connected
to all that has come before. And the past penetrates into what is
yet to come. The common thread is a yearning to discover their
identities in their families, in their communities, and in their
God.
