Between Two Shores is another unforgettable story by one very talented author. The history pulled me in closer with each page I turned. Not only did I learn more about our country’s past, but I felt as if I walked in the heroine’s shoes for awhile. Catherine is bold and brave, but she’s also sensitive and gentle toward those she loves. She faces her fears and hurts, proving to be a warrior through and through. Her journey is not to be missed.
While I wouldn’t say this is a historical romance, the tale carries great heart and emotion. The challenges of war affect each of the characters in realistic and sometimes heartbreaking ways. It wasn’t the easiest read, due to these heavy topics, but I appreciated its truth in the details.
Not to mention, the author’s prose and gift for painting magical settings truly made the story come alive. If you enjoy reading about strong heroines who rise above the gritty challenges of their world, this book is for you. Between Two Shores will sweep you away down the river alongside Catherine. I have a feeling you’ll come out on the other side changed, and for the better, just as she.
About the Book
She Has Always Moved between Worlds,
But Now She Must Choose a SideThe daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father in 1759 Montreal, Catherine Duval would rather remain neutral in a world tearing itself apart. Content to trade with both the French and the British, Catherine is pulled into the Seven Years’ War against her wishes when her British ex-fiancé, Samuel Crane, is taken prisoner by her father. Samuel claims he has information that could help end the war, and he asks Catherine to help him escape.
Peace appeals to Catherine, even if helping the man who broke her heart does not. But New France is starving, and she and her loved ones may not survive another winter of conflict-induced famine. When the dangers of war arrive on her doorstep, Catherine and Samuel flee by river toward the epicenter of the battle between England and France. She and Samuel may impact history, but she fears the ultimate cost will be higher than she can bear.

That’s probably one of my favorites too, Wendy!
late 1800s and early 1900s (my grandparents were born during that time, & I enjoy reading about what life was like when they were young)
It’s so special when you can learn more about what your family lived through. Thanks for joining us, Barb!
I love reading books from the late 1800’s, the Civil War and World War 2.
Me too, Merry! Great choices. 🙂
When castles were in use. 😀
Awww, yes, Sabrina! Have you read Kristy Cambron’s Lost Castle series? It’s sooooo good! 🙂
Historical fiction is my very favorite genre. I especially like stories about the immigrants coming through Ellis Island, as my grandmother came with her family when she was sixteen. A Heart Most Worthy by Siri Mitchell is one of my favorites! Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House
Oh wow! Knowing that was a piece of your own family’s history would make that extra fascinating to read about. Thanks for sharing, Kathleen.
Medieval and Regency.
I need to read more Medieval. Sounds intriguing. 🙂 Thanks for joining us, Caryl!
I enjoy the Edwardian and Victorian.

I do too, Marion! Any particular favorite author?
I don’t know if there really is a time period I don’t enjoy reading about. I have always liked Civil War/Old West and WWII books and still do, but I am enjoying American Revolution set books more than you used to. I love the fact that this takes place during the French and Indian War because it’s not a time period I have seen a lot of.
I love your comments, Colleen, and I totally agree. I’ve not read a ton of stories around The French and Indian War, so I learned a lot in this book, which was very cool!
I usually enjoy American history post Civil War, but I have been reading and enjoying a lot of regency romances lately !
Regency romances are such fun! Love hearing from you, Patty. 🙂
I like to read historical fiction about the late 1800’s.
So many fascinating tales around that time, for sure! Thanks for sharing, Connie.
I love reading about the world wars. Thanks for the chance to win!
And there’s some really good books out right now around those wars. Great choice, Faith!
Between two shore sounds like a good read. Thank you
Hope you get to read it soon, Linda!
I love most historical fiction eras. My favorites are Regency England and early America (colonial through post civil war eras).
I’m totally with you, Connie. Those are my favorites too! 🙂
