I am pretty sure I am “That” mom. The mom who has no talent for making costumes, and whose kid has to do his report on a historical figure with toilet paper rolls falling off his costume every time he sneezes. Strange to, since I didn’t use any toilet paper rolls… I think. Just by coincidence, my partner in crime and I ended up with our boys at the craft store at the same time. Both of us buying supplies for the costumes due in two days. I was at a complete loss as to how I was going to make the costume, and I was freaking out a bit. I didn’t ask my friend for help because she had a lot of work ahead of her as well and I didn’t want to burden her. I kept running into her in different aisles and it was making me more and more nervous. She was buying all sorts of fancy decorations and thread. THREAD! She was going to sew!? Oh no. Sewing is serious. She was also buying gold thingies to add to the costume. How she was going to add them I had no clue. Sew them on? They were metal. Hot glue?? Lets not even mention the cost for all of these items. The presentation is only an hour long and the bill was getting up there. I left the store with fabric, ribbon, and gold paint. My sweet baby basset and I went to work immediately and finished the costume in no time. It has about ten pounds worth of staples holding it together, and I am certain he will not be accused of having his parent’s help.

Fall of a Fortress — One of the Best Historical Fiction Books of 2018: Volume 1/3 of ‘The Displaced’ series
by Frieda Watt
Genre: Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
“The Displaced is an engaging work set in one of the most intriguing locales in Canadian history.” — Kirkus Reviews
Stranded in a besieged fortress, can a strong refugee woman survive and fight for her true love? Canadian Author Frieda Watt transports us into the barbaric world of 18th century colonial America where treachory, murder, and rival armies fight violent turf wars in Volume One of her epic new series, The Displaced: Fall of a Fortress.
In 1744, the mortar in the walls of Louisbourg fortress is still wet as Britain advances to conquer this new French city, its citizens both protected and imprisoned by its massive stone ramparts.
Torn between clashing empires and contentious families, Marie Lévesque fights to find a place in the unforgiving frontier of Canada. As a young woman, her life is just beginning. Her friendship with Pierre promises of something more. But their lives and the doomed fortress of Louisbourg are caught in the cross-hairs of the British navy, who promise to annihilate not only them but also their very way of life.
As empires collide, Marie and Pierre are catapulted into a world they do not understand — a world of spies, treason, and revenge. They must fight not only to survive the war, but also to stay together despite the forces that threaten to tear them apart forever.
This beautifully written, epic work of historical literary fiction, with the same feel as Outlander, is a must-read for any lover of historical fiction. The Displaced: Fall of a Fortress tells the story of ordinary people as they try to survive as French rule crumbles in Canada.
