As someone who is wanting to learn more about her Acadian (Cajun) ancestry, I was anxious to read this book. Mr. Pitre's journey to find his family history from Louisiana, to Canada, to France is a touching one. It is also very-well documented in his book. The book is full of photos recording his journey and family's history. It is quite clear that much time was put into this search, and the search is not over. Is one's search ever fully over? I highly recommend this book.
