📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The One Who Stays — Perrine and Madeleine were spoken of in one breath by the whole parish — the way you name a thing that comes in pairs. Then, in Perrine's thirteenth year, word comes up the river that will take one of them away and leave the other. Perrine learns that she is the one who stays, on a New France seigneury where two farms and two futures are about to come apart.
