From the Mountain Top: A Novel About One Gaspe Family

Every year, Louise Belmont makes a sentimental pilgrimage to the top of Mont Ste-Anne near her small Québec village of Percé on the Gaspé Peninsula. It's a special place. It's where her beloved late husband Luc proposed many years ago. For Louise now though, it's all about her children, their spouses and her visiting six-year-old grandson Michel. She has no thoughts of romance. So when she meets the distinguished but lost tourist Laurence Bradford on the mountain top, she gives him directions, has a friendly visit and thinks little more of it. But, as she starts to be seen around the village with Laurence, tongues start wagging. Then her old school chum and confidant Harry Bernier returns to Percé for his retirement. Gradually, Louise starts to consider whether to let a new love into her life and just who that might be.
