{"product_id":"the-allards-book-seven-wilmont-r-kreis-9781456497637","title":"The Allards Book Seven: The Witch","description":"In 1861, Moise and Marie-Anne Allard have not yet recovered from the difficult birth of their first son when Marie-Anne's brother, her cousin and an old friend join thousands of young Detroiters marching off to war, returning four years later as Detroit enters the industrial age. The Allards are guided by their unforgettable great-grandmother, Mimi Balard, while being threatened by their old nemesis, Fillmore P. Shakley, a slave catcher turned carpetbagger, when he returns to Detroit for revenge. As a young adult, their son, Moses Allard, leaves the farm for marriage and city life but eventually returns to the farm, weary of labor unrest. While the 19th century comes to a close, the groundwork is laid for Detroit's famous organized crime syndicate which will deeply affect the family into the 20th century and Book Eight. This seventh in a series of eight historical novels, The Witch, continues to bring history to life through the eyes of one family. It continues to be for French-Canadians what Roots is for-African Americans, but you need not have French-Canadian heritage or be from Detroit to love these books.
