The Acadian story deserves to be told far and wide let this exquisite book draw you into an astonishing tale of imperial abuse and collective courage.
Lyse Doucet, BBC Chief International Correspondent
Tyler LeBlanc takes readers on a quest to uncover his familys forgotten history, a journey into the horrors of the eighteenth-century deportations that scattered his Acadian ancestors and almost destroyed their culture. Deeply researched and honestly told, Acadian Driftwood is a gritty, gripping account of a dark chapter in Canadas history and an uplifting tale of discovery discovery of heritage, of family, and, ultimately, of identity.
Dean Jobb, author of The Acadians: A Peoples Story of Exile and Triumph
With great care and an eye for well-researched details, Tyler LeBlanc tells a story of trauma by making room for personal and historical insights into the lives of the Acadians who survived the Expulsion. A tapestry of 250-year-old threads, Acadian Driftwood is stronger and more resilient than one would ever expect, let alone woven in such a careful and vibrant manner.
Simon Thibault, author of Pantry and Palate: Remembering and Rediscovering Acadian Food

For my grandfather Bob LeBlanc, the man whose life sparked my interest in this story.
This book tells the story of a settler culture that attempted to remove and erase another settler culture from lands that neither had the right to call their own. The story is one small part of a much broader history, covering events that predominantly occurred within Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. This territory is covered by the Peace and Friendship Treaties that the Mi'kmaq, Wlastkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. These treaties recognized Mi'kmaq and Wlastkwiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between Nations. I acknowledge Mi'kma'ki, the land where I live and where this book was written, to be unceded territory.

The village of Grand Pr sat between two time-worn Appalachian ridgelines, an undulating land of salt-whitened marsh, plots of sunburnt grain fields, and broadleaf fruit trees. Roughly thirty-seven miles as the crow flies from the scrawny pine lands and wet green-grey granite of the Atlantic shoreline, the wide valley made its own weather, warmer than the coast in summer, drier in winter, and always a little less salty. Life here turned with the heavy tides of the Bay of Fundy. Small homes of one or two rooms, sparsely furnished with softwood chairs and tables and low bunks, where beets, onions, and cabbage simmered in cast-iron pots, lined the areas rivers. Most properties included barns and fields for pasture and crops. Families were large: between eight and twenty-five people could live together. Grand Pr was the hub of a thriving colony, unlike any other on the eastern seaboard of North America.
