Maxine Trottier demonstrates her talents yet again in this wonderful book! Cecile is a French-Canadian girl, trying to find her way through life, with the help of Lesharo and Papa, of course. Through trial and happiness, this is an awsome story and there NEEDS to be a sequel!

This is a French-Canadian story of a fifteen-year-old girl and the journey of self-discovery as she travels through the wilderness in the early 1700s. Her grandmother expects her to behave like a proper French lady. Story conveys conflict between white invaders and native Indians. Interesting historical fiction.
