A young beauty flees the royal court to the wilderness~
Harriet Klausner gives this sweeping historical saga of young America 5 stars: "Book one of the Patriots and Seekers Revolutionary War era thriller is a great tale due to a strong cast and held together by a wonderful brave protagonist. Readers obtain a taste of life in the rebellious colonies through the trials and triumphs of courageous Christiane. Lyn Cote writes an engaging saga as epic events sweep La Belle Christiane struggling to survive the tsunami of war."
The Story
In the early 1770's, Christiane Pelletier, an extraordinarily beautiful young woman, is next in a line of courtesans who have been favorites at the French court during the reigns of two monarchs. Yet she longs to be the beloved wife of one man, not a lovely piece of human art passed from one noble to another. And the winds of change are sweeping Europe.
After her mother's violent murder, Christiane flees France with her renegade father. In the Canadian wilderness, she survives the shock of leaving a life of wealth and privilege. To escape frontier violence, she moves southward only to become involved in the burgeoning American Revolution.
Daughter of a French courtesan to frontier wife to companion of Lady Washington, Christiane moves into the heart of the American rebel elite. But one man in her life can never be forgotten. Once he was her friend. Now he has become her enemy. Will he become her destiny? Only God knows.
5.0 out of 5 stars Could not lay it down

This entire book was fascinating. Character development was strong enough to be convincing, and I felt as though I was watching history unfold. Obviously a lot of research was given, as the book made me feel as though I was walking alongside Christiane. Her humanity shone through her decisions over and over again. Ms Cote has done us a tremendous service in portraying our nation's history in such an entertaining fashion. Many thanks for a wonderful read.
