Time Will Tell can be read as a standalone novella in the Cacouna saga. It is the second edition of I Dare Not Describe and features a new cover. It is 1759 and the British have just won the Battle on the Plains of Abraham. Isabelle remembers the caves on Cacouna Island where she hid out as a child with her family. She takes her granddaughter and great-granddaughter with her to the caves. A few Acadian families are hiding on the island, too, in order to avoid capture by the British. Pierre, an Acadian, and Claire, Isabelle's great granddaughter, strike up a friendship that has unexpected consequences. Pierre and Claire become friends and discover the magic portal in one of the caves on the island. They travel to the future-to the year 1898 and meet the poet Émile Nelligan. After they spend the day with Émile, they return to the cave and time travel to 1918. A vagabond in the cave presents Pierre with a history book about the Acadiens who helped found the village of Cacouna.Will Pierre, by reading the history book, find out what happened to his parents and brothers and sisters, from whom he was separated? Only time will tell ...Barbara Burgess, a McGill University graduate, is a member of the Quebec Writers Federation. She is a copy editor, a freelance book publicist for Canadian authors, as well as an English and history teacher. Her first book (The Magic Manuscript: Book One - Voyage to Eve Ilion) was published traditionally in the USA in 2011. Since 2013, she has published four books (historical fantasy) in the Cacouna Saga: The Cacouna Caves and the Hidden Mural; The Cacouna Caves: Doorway to the Golden Planet; Crossover: Dialogues About Climate Change, the Near Future, and the Distant Past; and I Dare Not Describe. The second edition of I Dare Not Describe is Time Will Tell; it has been translated and published in French as LE TEMPS NOUS LE DIRA. Time Will Tell can be read as a standalone novella, though it is part of the Cacouna Saga.
