On a Stormy Primeval Shore: New Brunswick

Canadian Historical Brides, Book 9

By: Diane Scott Lewis, Nancy M. Bell

Narrated by: Jenny Hoops

In 1784, Englishwoman Amelia Latimer sails to the new colony of New Brunswick in faraway Canada. She’s to marry a man chosen by her soldier father. Amelia is repulsed by her betrothed, refuses to marry, then meets the handsome Acadian trader, Gilbert, a man beneath her in status.

Gilbert must protect his mother, who was attacked by an English soldier. He fights to hold on to their property, to keep it from the Loyalists who have flooded the colony, desperate men chased from the South after the American Revolution. In a land fraught with hardship, Amelia and Gilbert struggle to overcome prejudice and political upheaval, while forging a life in a remote country where events seek to destroy their love and lives.

Performed by acclaimed narrator Jenny Hoops, the story comes alive with vivid characters and thrilling storytelling. The harsh environment of New Brunswick is a wonderful backdrop to the story of the immigrants, male and female, who left their homes and families, crossed oceans, and endured unimaginable hardships in order to settle the Canadian wilderness and build new lives in a rough and untamed country.
