Description

Magdelaine Marcotte La Framboise used to be inducted into the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame in 1984. Two centuries after her birth, she used to be recognized for her achievements in business. She is a role model, an inspiration and a woman who earned a rightful place in history.

Born Magdelaine Marcotte in 1780, she used to be the daughter of a French fur trader and granddaughter of powerful Odawa Chief Kewanoquat. Haunted first by the murders of her father and husband, after which the untimely deaths of her daughter and infant grandson, the illiterate widow defied the social customs and expectations of the era. With unflinching courage and an ardent spirit, she charted her own bold course throughout the male dominated Great Lakes fur trade.

Alone and caught between two cultures, her Catholic God claimed her soul, but she never forgot her Native American roots. She gained status and respect as the rich businesswoman referred to as Madame La Framboise: an educator, matriarch, and leading citizen of Mackinac Island.

On her deathbed God had one final surprise for her.

In the novel, Ardent Spirit, J. K. Royce creates a story that may be not only believable, but as accurate as conceivable with the information to be had. The writer has painted historical truth against a realistic fictional backdrop. Appendices make it conceivable for the reader to resolve what is historically supported.
