| The story of The
Lad from Point de Bute focuses on one day in the life of John (Johnny)
Trenholm, Jr., during the summer of his 12th year, and depicts a way of life
in a farming village in the Cape Chignecto area of Nova Scotia in 1774.
After finding a message hidden in the family barn, Johnny becomes obsessed
with questions about who really owns his family's farm. Seeking answers, he
learns about the Acadian Expulsion of 1755, when British ships collected
area farmers and shipped them off to other countries.
During his search with his best friend, Mattie, drumbeats of war with the
Americans approach on the horizon.
