Gripping and emotional historical fiction inspired by true events

By: Lyn Cote

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Daughter of a French courtesan to frontier wife to friend of Martha Washington-

In the early 1700's Christiane flees France with her renegade father. In the Canadian wilderness, she survives the shock of leaving a life of wealth and privilege. To escape frontier violence, she moves southward only to become involved in the burgeoning American Revolution. Daughter of a French courtesan to frontier wife to companion of Martha Washington--circumstances move Christiane into the very heart of the American rebel elite. But one man in her life can never be forgotten.

John Eastham, who’d also left Europe behind, had protected her as the captain at a Canadian frontier fort. Then he’d been a friend. Now when they meet again, he has become the enemy. Both of them must face the history they left behind. Both of them must face the consequences of war and--also of peace. How do enemies lay down arms and forge a future--a dynasty.

Three generations in early America-one family's saga, a young nation’s story~

A fascinating book, well worth reading, difficult to put down and gave me a new insight into the early history of the US.—a UK reader

Not much. Pretty shallow story.

The virtual voice lacked any emotion. I’m used to readers altering their voices for each character. I hope I never again get stuck listening to a passionless virtual reader.

Bad narration

I do not like virtual voice narration. It sounds so cold and unfeeling! Use real people with different voices!

Historical data

I liked the story but got confused with the many characters. I did like the reference to the norms of that particular time period.
