Jim Trudeau

Jim Trudeau has made a career out of killing trees - first in a sawmill, and then as an award-winning writer. He is crafting a deeply researched, multi-novel historical fiction saga spanning a century of the wars of religion and the birth of modern France. Four generations of powerful women and innovative men want to build families and live their lives. But religious hatred keeps landing on them from both sides, Catholic and Protestant. This is the story of how they use wit and will to survive bigotry, massacres, siege, war, and starvation until the family scion leaves everything to sail for a new life in the New World.
