PREORDER NOW FOR MAY!

One woman’s cross-country journey to explore the hold family history has on our lives, and the power of new stories to shape what lies ahead.

In her mid-thirties, happily single if also tied closely to a family that has long thought of her as their historian, Karen Babine hitches up her Scamp and sets out with her two unenthusiastic cats, Galway and Maeve, on a journey from her home in Minnesota to Nova Scotia, to find the place where her French-Acadian ancestors settled in North America some four centuries ago.
