About this listen

Crafted by two masters of inspirational fiction - Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn - and combining the engaging historical settings, rich characterization, and heartwarming messages quintessential to both authors, The Meeting Place is another timeless story for you to cherish.

Set along the rugged coastline of 18th century Canada in what was then called Acadia (now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), The Meeting Place re-creates a world that was home to native Indians, French settlers, and English garrisons. Such diverse populations did not live in accord, however. Instead, they were isolated within their own groups by a brewing political tension under the difficult English rule. Amid such chaotic times, two women, both about to become brides and both trying to live lives of quiet peace, meet in a lush field of wildflowers. Louisa, a Frenchwoman, and Catherine, who is English, continue to meet secretly through the seasons, sharing both friendship and growing faith. The outside world does not mirror their own tranquil happiness, and the dreaded crackdown by the English throne threatens far more than their growing bond. In the face of a heart-wrenching dilemma, Louisa and Catherine strive to maintain their faith and cling to their dreams of family and home.

Kindred & Spiritual spirits

Louisa & Kathryn crossed barriers to discover & create an everlasting friendship that challenged many extreme situations. Such a great sacrifice on both ladies, I’m not sure I could do it.

The Meeting Place

This was an enjoyable yet sorrowful story. It is the tale of two women -- one French and one English -- who meet during the revolutionary war and become fast friends despite their language barrier. The characters were very 3 dimensional and relatable.
I have read/listened to most of Jeanette Oke's books and would recommend to all.

Lovely story

Great narration of a beautiful story. It really makes you think about how similar circumstances could happen to you.

Missing chapters/sections!

This is a book I have read several times, so I know the story well. I was disappointed with this recording because several scenes were missing, and the entire section (chapter?) when Catherine and Louise discover they are expecting is completely omitted.
