{"product_id":"2940158508714","title":"Emilie","description":"Emilie Gallant and her Cajun family have traveled to Louisiana in search of their father, separated thirteen years ago during le grand dérangement, the brutal exile by the British from their Nova Scotia homeland. The last thing Emilie has on her mind as she enters the rugged bayou country is marriage to her longtime companion, Lorenz Dugas. Beautiful but stubbornly defiant, Emilie worshipped Lorenz as a child but having to fight to preserve her family has built a wall around her heart. But Lorenz is equally determined and his passion will prove that their love cannot be denied. As they make their way across the untamed Louisiana wilderness, hoping to reunite the Gallant family, Emilie learns that love has a way of healing all wounds -- even in the most unusual places. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pick up a copy of Emilie for your reading pleasure, and take a journey into the historical Acadian (Cajun) country of Louisiana for an educational, romantic read.\" \u003cbr\u003e--Carol Carter, Romance Reviews Today \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The beauty of Ms. Claire's tale is in the message that love makes one a stronger and better person.
