Pillars of Avalon - Book 5 (Newfoundland)
David and Sara Kirke live in a time of upheaval
under the reign of King Charles I who gives, then takes. He gives
David the nod of approval to range up and down the French
Canadian shores, burning colonies and pillaging ships that are
loaded with goods meant for the French. When Louis XIII of France
shouts his outrage, King Charles reneges. He takes David’s prizes
and returns them to the French, putting David and his family in
dire straits.
Undeterred,
David and Sara will not be denied. After years, the king relents.
He knights David and gives him a grant for the whole of
Newfoundland and Labrador. There David and Sara build a
prosperous plantation. They trade fish and fish oil with colonies
down the American coast, Barbados and ports of call in the Mediterranean.
They thrive while England is torn in two by the civil wars.
Soon,
these troubles engulf his family. David is carried in chains back
to England to stand trial for being a malignant, a follower of
Laud's high church. He entreats Sara to manage the Ferryland
plantation, a daunting task but with a strength that defies a
stalwart man, she digs in and prospers, becoming the first
entrepreneur of Newfoundland.

His Brother's
Bride - Book 2 (Ontario)
The youngest child of the local doctor and
evangelical preacher, Annie Baldwin was expected to work hard and
not protest. Life on a pioneer farm was tough so neighbors helped
each other.
George Richardson the underage Doctor Barnardo
Boy, orphaned and shipped to Canada a few years earlier, is loaned
to the Baldwins to help bring in the hay. Younger brother Peter
Richardson was placed with another neighbor, so the brothers stayed
in touch with each other. The Great War brought a lot of changes to
life even in the back woods of Ontario. In spite of the differences
in their social standing, George and Annie fell in love.
When George departed for France they had an
understanding and he promised to return to her when the war was
over. Alas, fate had other ideas. After a long silence, Annie
received the much anticipated letter. But it wasn’t from George,
but from his brother, Peter. Also in the trenches of France. George
was killed during the final push on August 8, 1918 at Marcelcave
near Amiens. The two who loved him form a long distance bond via
censored letters. When Peter is sent back to Canada, rather than
return him to the east where he enlisted, he is discharged in
Vancouver.
Sick from mustard gas poisoning and penniless,
Peter finds work at Fraser Mills. Once he could save enough money
he planned to return to the small farm in the northern Ontario
bush, but before he does, he sends Annie a box of chocolates in the
mail. Inside the box he hid an engagement ring. Bound together by
their love for George, they find solace in each other. Will it be
enough to last?
