The Long Shot: A French Canadian Saga

Joyce Derenas
4.34/5 (67 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Nazaire Poulin is a poor grain grower who lives in Quebec where he struggles like every other man to make ends meet. The sudden death of his spouse leads to devastating consequences. The removal of his children deepens his depression. He can’t afford seed money for the coming season, so now his farmstead and land are at risk.

A dog-eared letter written years earlier sits on the kitchen table. The last line reads: … if things bad at home … tell brothers come – come to the gold fields of the Yukon. Nazaire embarks on a four-thousand-mile journey on foot with his brother. Nazaire knows that it is a long shot, but he decides to take the long shot.

The pair face risks as they walk among drunk highwaymen, and deal with unsavory hooligans, members of their wilderness party. The pair endure dangerous weather, bushwhack through the Rocky Mountains and cross paths with angered Indians on the way. Nazaire is a man lost. Will he make it safely to Dawson? To fail means losing his children, and the land that he loves.
