Publisher Description

A Chance Encounter Forever Changed Their Lives--and Destinies.

Crafted by two masters of inspirational fiction--Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn--and combining the engaging historical settings, rich characterization, and heartwarming messages quintessential to both authors, The Meeting Place is another timeless story for you to cherish.

Set along the rugged coastline of 18th century Canada in what was then called Acadia (now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), The Meeting Place re-creates a world that was home to native Indians, French settlers, and English garrisons. Such diverse populations did not live in accord, however. Instead, they were isolated within their own groups by a brewing political tension under the difficult English rule.

Amid such chaotic times two women, both about to become brides and both trying to live lives of quiet peace, meet in a lush field of wildflowers. Louisa, a Frenchwoman, and Catherine, who is English, continue to meet secretly through the seasons, sharing both friendship and growing faith.

The outside world does not mirror their own tranquil happiness, and the dreaded crackdown by the English throne threatens far more than their growing bond. In the face of a heart-wrenching dilemma, Louisa and Catherine strive to maintain their faith and cling to their dreams of family and home.

Winner of the Christy Award, presented by the Christian Bookseller Association to honor the best in Christian fiction.

Breath of fresh air

I have never been a big reader and was slow to start on this book. Once I finally had a little free time I started and couldn’t get enough. Reading after bedtime and immediately upon completion purchasing the next two books in the series. Just completed Sacred Shore in 5 days.
Wonderfully refreshing!

The Meeting Place

How wonderful to read again the inspiring and very interesting story of two women whose lives are intertwined through their love for each others' families as well as for each other. Because of the conflict of their homelands, their friendship had to be kept secret, as they visited often in the meeting place.
