Paradise: Based on a True Story of Survival Hardcover - 2002
by Joan Elizabeth Goodman
Summary
We were so far away from any life we’d known. I wondered if we’d gone beyond God’s reach. Perhaps He couldn’t hear us from this wild land.
Next to the immense forest of eastern Canada lies the tiny wild Isle of Demons. In 1542 the young Marguerite, her maid, and her love are marooned on this island. At first, summer provides berries, greens, mushrooms, and rabbits and squirrels caught by snares. The exiles become increasingly resourceful, scavenging for food in the woods and on the shore, using every part of a slain deerits blood for pudding, its bladder for a water bag, and its hide for clothing. They even build a home of sorts out of saplings and mud. But though it is little spoken of, Marguerite dreads the harsh northern winter to come. How will they ever survive it?
Based on the true-life heroine Marguerite de La Rocque, Paradise is a gripping novel of adventure, courage, hardship, love, and survival.

Media reviews
The tale itself, however, is about as romantic as they come, and readers who dream of being stranded on a desert island (with of course, their heart’s desire) will find this hard to resist.” The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Even readers with little interest in history will find the story of Marguerite de La Rocque fascinating ” VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)
The book will be an invaluable addition to the literature about the colonization of the New World.” Booklist, ALA
