These Three Gifts — Maxine Trottier

A holiday treat for fans of the Dear Canada series, and all lovers of historical fiction! Gifts from the heart are the best gifts of all. Genevieve feared for her brother's life when he and his friend fought to defend New France against the British siege of their city. Their hopes came undone in one day following a fierce battle on the Plains of Abraham. With Quebec in British hands, everything - everything - changed! And now another shift in their fortunes brings a new challenge.
