СКАЧАТЬ they found a sale on everything they needed and left the store with two big shopping bags crammed full.

      On impulse, Christi ducked into a music store. Music reflected its author. Maybe she could get an insight on what had changed Daniel through his work. She chose a CD of his first album, Shifting Sands, released five years ago and a CD of his latest album, Âme d’Hiver, winter’s soul, released for the Christmas shopping season. She fingered the single red rose on a bed of crystallized snow. To the CDs, she added an inexpensive player and a pack of batteries.

      She and Rosane browsed several boutiques before they reached a bookstore.

      “How come they have a library in a mall?” Rosane asked.

      “Librairie is French for bookstore, honey.”

      “Can I pick out a couple of books? I’ve read the one I brought already.”

      “Can I go find my books now?” Rosane asked, fidgeting.

      “Sure. Just stay where I can see you.” Christi’s fingers eagerly snatched several books from the shelf. She’d found the titles she wanted. What answers would they give her?

      NEAR QUEBEC CITY, 1698. Mardi Gras.

      Outside a tempest of the devil’s own making brewed. Winds howled. Snow swirled. Temperatures chilled bones to the marrow. But inside, a fire roared and laughter rang loud and warm on this February night.

      This was the grandest party of the decade. The whole village was here, feasting and drinking on her father’s generous provisions. Paul, her fiancé, stood at her elbow, his adoration plain on his face. To be sixteen, in love and the center of attention was glorious. Rose had never been happier.
