"Courageous, intelligent, honest, entertaining - the autobiography of a hugely important, successful, international scholar who is a quintessential Acadian. A marvelous read from a man of integrity." Naomi Griffiths, author of Contexts of Acadian History, 1686-1784 "A very powerful account of an Acadian's journey in a modern world, and of the Canadian francophone experience outside of Quebec. I'm from Bouctouche, Me conveys beautifully and poignantly a central theme of 'bitter root, sweet harvest'." Sean Conway, Queen's University
