"Young, beautiful Amaelie Belliveau lives with her family among the Acadians of Grande Prae, Nova Scotia, content with her life on their idyllic farm. Along with their friends, the neighbouring Mi'kmaq, the community believes they can remain on neutral political ground despite the rising tides of war. But peace can be fragile, and sometimes faith is not enough. When the Acadians refuse to pledge allegiance to the British in their war against the French, the army invades Grande Prae, claims the land, and rips the people from their homes"--Amazon.com.

For lovers of Canadian history woven around a fictional story, this was a near perfect read! I only wish there was a little more fever between Connor and Amelie....a little more passion. I know this is a monumental task considering the fact that the English are invading and loved ones are dying all around, but I think it would have balanced the story just that much better. I will without question be reading this author again!

I have to say that when I heard this book was coming out I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it and I am so glad I received an advance reader copy of it. 

This book is so good. I loved the story and I really loved Amelie and Connor. 

I admit that I haven't read many historical fiction books set it Canada but I just loved this one so much that I didn't want to stop reading this book. 

Even if you aren't Canadian I do highly recommend.

I give Promises to Keep by Genevieve Graham 5 out of 5 stars.
