Look Homeward Angel

This book is from the Heartsong Presents historical series, sweet historical romances in various settings with an inspirational theme. This particular book is set during the Acadian removal from Canada in 1755. Seventeen-year-old Angelique Boudreau couldn't be happier, for she is soon to marry nineteen-year-old Joseph Landry, the man she loves more than anything in the world. But it's October of 1755, and life for Angelique, Joseph, and the other Acadians in their town of Grand Pre, Nova Scotia is about to change forever. One terrible day, the Acadian men of Grand Pre are deported by the British, and Angelique fears she will never see her father and her beloved Joseph again. Because her mother is eight months pregnant and feeling very poorly, Angelique is left behind with her when most of the Acadian women are deported as well. Angelique and her mother struggle to make it on their own until they can find out where the men were sent and follow them. Meanwhile, Joseph struggles with his unbearable longing to see Angelique again as he must care for her sick father. Will Angelique and Joseph ever be reunited? This book was a nice, sweet story, which I really enjoyed as a fan of sweet romances. I also loved the unique historical setting. However, the ending was a bit abrupt, and Angelique and Joseph were apart for much of the story. I would have liked to see a bit more of them together. I would still recommend this book to both teens and adults who enjoy sweet historical romances, as it is overall an enjoyable read.
