It’s early days, but I have been delighted with the comments received so far about my new novel, The Hat.

Here are three assessments.

“Wonderful story! Sure to be a favorite of all who read it.” – Hugh R. MacDonald, author of Trapper Boy and Us and Them

“It’s a great novel that should be translated into French.” Claude DeGrâce, Managing Director, Société Promotion Grand-Pré.

“It’s a wonderful book … which reminds us that the majority of the people deported were children. This book will be enjoyed by both children and adults; it palpably makes one feel the horror and helplessness felt by the victims. Maddeningly for the boy, no one—not even his loving grandfather—could prevent the Deportation.” Warren Perrin, Louisiana lawyer and champion of Cajun history and Acadiana
