A: The premise of the story seemed more fiction than fact, but the story about the German U-boat sailors at our local dance was true. And when I told people what I was writing about, I was surprised by the many additional stories they told me about U-boats skulking around our shores. I had no idea. I was already aware of most of the historical information, but listening to actual interviews of Second World War veterans and hearing the raw emotion in their voices even after all this time was intense. Usually when I write I am surprised by little things, and I love when that happens. For example, in Promises to Keep, I wanted to write a story that stayed in Canada, but it didn’t look promising after all the Acadian ships were sent off to unknown ports. Then I came across the Pembroke, the only ship to remain in Canada after the Expulsion. Then I discovered Charles Belliveau, who was the actual Acadian mast maker and eventual captain of the Pembroke. The dialogue he had with the captive English captain was taken word for word from journals shared online. Those are the moments I find so thrilling when I’m researching, like I’ve found the exact puzzle piece I didn’t even realize I was missing.

I was pleased to discover Genevieve's previous book, Promises to Keep on the shelf of my local used bookstore. I had seen it advertised and it had been on my to-read shelf for a while, so I bought it and read it within a few days! It makes my heart very happy to see decent Canadian historical fiction making its way into the mainstream again, through authors like Graham. While the story is fictional, Graham weaved in Canadian history. It was as accurately as possible and clarifies any changes in an author’s note. Brantley, Ben (March 12, 2017).
