About the Book
The reach of true love beyond boundaries remains an eternal mystery as it brings together three people of different race, religion and culture from drastically different worlds, but bound by love and destiny.
Len Turner's THE DAY BEFORE TOMORROW is a stirring novel that moves from Quebec to small-town Scotland and dramatically shifts to the wilderness of Canada and the nearby Queen Charlotte islands in the eighteenth century.
The story is a moving narrative about young David Glenfikit, a staunch Protestant Scotsman who falls in love with two women whose lives are shockingly different from his own reality, and follows him as he is quickly forced to grow up and learn the true meaning of love and survival.
His first love is a budding beauty whose father is one of the few prosperous French-Canadian Jewish tradesman in early Canada. The second is a striking Indian girl, daughter of the chief of a fierce heathen tribe in the nearby islands.
Fraught with life-threatening adventure, along with the joy and sorrow of living and loving fully, THE DAY BEFORE TOMORROW reaches a startling climax with a touching catharsis of love and fate."
