From Aleteia:
To Crown with Liberty follows the life of a fictional character named Alix de Morainville Carpentier, a noblewoman born in northern France who, after her society debut at Versailles, becomes lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution. Forced to flee as a result of the violence of the Terror, Alix ends up in Louisiana, no longer and aristocrat but now the wife of her former gardener and attempting to make a life among French settlers in the new world.
Alix struggles to make peace with her past, including the choices she had to make in order to escape France. Her personal story takes place in the wider context of humanity’s search for political freedom, human fraternity, and the role of spirituality in promoting human happiness. Alix must come to peace with her past in order to be free for a happy future. Cultures and nations must do the same. Revolutions that reject the entire history and traditions of a nation don’t end well. (Read more.)
