While I have read a few books set during the French and Indian War, I am less familiar with Canadian history that sees that war as part of a larger conflict called the Seven Years' War which involved the Americas, Europe, Africa and India. In Between Two Shores Jocelyn Green focuses on the war's impact on Quebec, Montreal and the surrounding area. While most of the characters are fictional, most of the details are firmly based on history.
While I want to be careful not to include any spoilers, I will say that Bright Star's remark that, "Some stories don't end the way you want them to," certainly applies to parts of this story. However, Green demonstrates that forgiveness can lead to acceptance and contentment with the reality of how some of life's stories do end. Coming to this realization is often painful, but to quote another character, "Healing comes with a price, and I'm afraid the price is pain. Beyond that, however, is wholeness." I believe most readers will find the healing that comes in a variety of ways to a variety of relationships in this book quite inspiring.
