Story
New York, 1898. The only thing more shocking than Arthur Stanhope III’s unexpected death is the revelation that his will bestows his company—and most of the vast fortune that goes with it—to the nearest male heir, leaving his mother, wife, and daughter nearly impoverished. His widow, Sylvia, quickly realizes she must set aside her grief to ensure their daughter, Adelaide, is launched into society as soon as the appropriate mourning period passes.

Publisher's summary
In a land torn apart by conflict, can love mend the tattered pieces?
As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada’s Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family—French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral—are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war, and William Blackburn, the British Army Ranger raising havoc across North America’s borderlands.
As summer takes hold in 1755 and British ships appear on the horizon, Sylvie encounters Blackburn, who warns her of the coming invasion. Rather than participate in the forced removal of the Acadians from their land, he resigns his commission. But that cannot save Sylvie or her kin.
Relocated on a ramshackle ship to Virginia, Sylvie struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. When her path crosses once more with William’s, they must work through the complex tangle of their shared, shattered past to navigate the present and forge an enduring future.

Story
In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village seance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband.

Story
Tom, my husband, is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten measly mouthfuls. I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim. My identity along with my life is long gone. I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive. A chance encounter with Savannah changes everything. Tom couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. Could she be my saviour?

Dragons Riders: The last noble warriors in the realm. Only heroes can embolden the ordinary. For centuries, millennia, the Dragon Riders galvanized generation after generation, adding Riders to their ranks and birthing dragons from their eggs. But there are no more heroes. War with the Andarens is like nothing the Riders, nor the armies of Erador, have ever faced. In the place of heroes, there are only soldiers now. Fodder for the machine of war. This time of twilight is set to be the crowning hour of the dark when the light is losing its grip.

Interesting, clean romance about the displaced Acadians
Good story. Interesting time period and circumstance. The narrator paused at odd times and read too slowly. Not my favorite.

I loved everything about this book. Especially the way she weaves our Lord’s hand through the lives of the characters. Laura Frantz teaches with her story telling and in doing so leads us closer to God. Truly amazing.

Overall a great book
Laura Frantz is one of my favorite authors! This wasn’t my favorite books she’s done but I enjoyed it. I did not care for the narrator, she was very monotone at times making it hard to focus. I had to keep rewinding parts because I didn’t understand what was even happening.

Love it!
Laura Frantz is an auto buy author for me. I love her books. Their are lush and complex in plot and her characters are memorable and well written. She is dedicated to historical detail which is important to me in historical fiction.
The Seamstress of Arcadie is beautifully written and was set during a time in history I didn’t know a lot about except for Longfellow’s poem. I didn’t want it to end. Another excellent book by this author!
The audio book narration was excellent as well.

Stoled My Heart ♥️
Another EXCELLENT book from Laura Frantz!!! It was hard to come to the end of this book and I look forward to another Arcadian story to follow this one. There is something extraordinary about Laura Frantz books that make her my one of my Favorite authors. Pilar Witherspoon is also one of my favorite narrators. Combining Pilar Witherspoon’s narration with a book written by Laura Frantz creates a spectacular experience. Thank You! 😊

Wonderful story!
I wasn’t familiar with this author, but I’m so glad I took a chance on this book! The plot and pacing were exciting, the characters endearing, and the sense of place nearly palpable.
The reader, unfortunately, drove me bonkers, for a number of reasons. Mostly, I couldn’t stand the long pauses she gave EVERY SINGLE TIME she said certain French terms. Worst was the character of Bleu, whom she always reads like: “She turned to…BLEU…and said hello.” It’s like, can’t you just use the name in a sentence without pausing before and after and going so overboard with the pronunciation? Maddening!
Anyway, the book was so good it was worth enduring the reader. I will definitely look for this wonderful author again—I just hope it’ll be a different reader next time.
