Fields of Gold Beneath Prairie Skies: Saskatchewan

Canadian Historical Brides, Book 6

By: Suzanne deMontigny

Narrated by: Jenny Hoops

French-Canadian soldier Napoleon proposes to lovely and charming Lea in Belgium during WWI, promising golden fields of wheat as far as the eye can see. After the armistice, he sends money for her passage, and she journeys far from her family and the conveniences of a modern country to join him on a homestead in Saskatchewan. There, she works hard to build their dream of a prospering farm, clearing fields alongside her husband through several pregnancies and even after suffering a terrible loss. When the stock market crashes in ’29, the prairies are stricken by a long and abysmal drought. Thrown into poverty, she struggles to survive in a world where work is scarce, death is abundant, and hope dwindles. Will she and her family survive the Great Depression?

Read by celebrated narrator Jenny Hoops, you will fall in love with Napoleon and Leopoldine, and share their triumphs and sorrows as they make their new life on the Canadian prairies. Book six in the Canadian Historical Brides collection.
