I didn't care for this one. It was extremely preachy and full of plotholes and poor character development. As if it weren't enough to have one character questioning their faith and "feeling empty" and adrift, they had to have two characters. On top of that, I found the character development suffered because of the forced soul searching. Charles went immediately from being wealthy, bitter, arrogant and entitled to being unsure of himself and his goals and feeling impoverished for no apparent reas...more

This is the sequel to The Meeting Place. I liked The Meeting Place better than this book. But it was still very good. And it answers all the questions that were left at the end of The Meeting Place!
A good read charged with emotion!

It's been so hard to concentrate on books lately and I've felt really bad because I wanted to finish this one, but there's been so much going on. And on top of that, I had to get this one as EPUB when I don't have a nook! Unfair!
Anyway, this book is about Antoinette and Elspeth, all grown up. Anne (born Antoinette Robichaud) in Acadia is a well rounded, happy child who may or may not already know the full story of her origins; it's never made clear exactly when she's told. The story doesn't beg...more

This book was the first book I read from the series. I was going through my grandmas old closet and room in Puerto Rico looking for some old interesting book to read. When I go back to my room my grandma is there with two books: The Sacred Shore and The Birth Right. I ask her what they are and she says they are these books my mom and two aunts read when they were young and she told me that since she knew I loved reading she knew I would enjoy them. Of course i doubted this seeing that they were...more
Simply a sweet book. I love the message that we cannot control some things but God gives us the freedom of choice that we can go through uncontroable circumstances with him. The choice is clear, everything else in the world will always leave one longing for more except the life that Jesus Christ offers. THe main character was able to discover this.
Near the end the book got very weepy (characters within the book were constantly crying) but i guess it was realistic given the situation.

I am so surprised by how much I am drawn into this series. What I do like about this author is that she quickly gets into the depth of the characters, the plot moves swiftly, and there is not a moment of boredom. She could very easily have made these into longer novels if she had expanded more on the setting and time period and history, but that's okay. I forgive her, because the story was so captivating.
I continue to like this series. I think this book is my favorite. It was the most exciting and interesting of them all. Each woman's life continues in this second book. One woman was forced to relocate with her family to Louisiana. I loved how the author incorporated facts into this book.
The mix up added each interest for me. Again, this is a Christian author and there is a lot of God talk.

This is the sequal to The Meeting Place. This book takes place many years after the 1st book ends. At first I was sad it did not pick up where it stopped because of the way the first book ends but was soo drawn into this book like the first and read if very quickly. Well written.
I'm going to be reading the 3rd book from the Song of Acadia series. These simple small books are really beautifully written. I finished them with a feeling of taking away with me something profound.
I liked it. I listened to it with my mother. I don't know if I could sit down & read it though ... the jury is still out. I heard enough of the first book & Mother told me about it so I could follow this one.
Sequel to The Meeting Place. Again, previewed for Allison. Interesting historic details, but note that the author is very religious - talks a lot about characters' relationships with God.
it was a pretty good book,but its one of those books it takes a little to get into,but other than that it was a pretty good book.
I enjoy the clean romance, the glamour of 1770 England, the references to how prayer uplifts - fun, clean, easy read.
Excellent read. Really keeps you interested to know what happens next.
Good sequel....easy and enjoyable series.
Love love loved this series(the song of Acadia)
Very, very good.
Excellent continuation of the Meeting place...Loved it. If you are wanting a book that will keep you drawn into a good storyline. This is a good choice. There is good load of soul searching with the characters...expect alot of tears...I mean alot!! If you are one to read in public and not afraid to show your emotions as well...you'll do fine with this one...if not read it on a good rainy-curl-up-on-the-couch-day.
I enjoyed both settings with this one!! :)

It was a satisfying read. I really enjoyed hearing about the girls & finding out what happened to both families.
Second book in the Song of Acadia series. I didn't read the first one but was able to "catch up" easily. Interesting look at colonial life and also an interesting adoption theme. A lot of religious overtones.
I liked the love story but a little too preachy for me.
This is the 2nd Acadia book & tells the story of the daughters of the women in the 1st book. Pretty good book - I found it easier to read & more moving than the 1st one.

This is also an amazing book. It's probably one of the best in the series.
"It's really interesting, but a tiny bit confusing... but i love it! "
Book two down....it takes half way into the book to get interesting.
