ABOUT THE BOOK
Which will you sacrifice—the father that raised you, or the nation you adore?
Acadia, 1755. Jeanne LeJeune has always lived between worlds—the fierce daughter of a French merchant and a Mi’kmaw woman, she is torn between the quiet rhythms of village life and the wild heartbeats of her mother’s people. But when her father is seized by English soldiers, her fragile peace shatters.
To win his freedom, Jeanne agrees to guide an English officer through the wilds of Nova Scotia—a choice that entangles her in the coming storm of war. What begins as a wary alliance soon becomes a journey fraught with danger, betrayal, and passion.
As the drums of conflict echo through the untamed heart of the forest, Jeanne must face an impossible choice: betray her heart to save her father or risk everything for the nation who shaped her soul.
Lush, romantic, and unflinching, “Like Snow Before Sun” captures a love tested by loyalty, loss, and the devastating cost of survival.
