A Little Girl in Old Quebec

Résumé du livre

Mist drifts along the cobbled streets of early Quebec, where ancient stone walls echo with the laughter and secrets of a young girl's world. In an era when the wilds of New France beckoned with both promise and peril, one spirited heroine navigates the dawn of a settlement shaped by explorers like Samuel de Champlain and the enduring hopes of its first families. Through the eyes of Rose, readers step into the heart of French colonial history, discovering a tapestry of daily life, friendship, and adventure that pulses with the vibrancy and uncertainty of a new land.
