Set in the author's hometown of Belleoram, Fortune Bay, this is a sweeping historical novel that traces three centuries of cross cultural contact and relations between the Beothucks and the European settlers who came to Newfoundland. The book asks the question Does Beothuck blood flow in the veins of Newfoundland people?" Maybe, says the author, "But the story or stories of how it might have gotten there remains forever veiled. Belle Maro is one possible story, one imagining...a peek through the veil."
