Wild Youth Volume 2 takes readers to the fictional town of Askatoon, where the arrival of the Mazarine family stirs both intrigue and judgement. At the heart of the story is Louise Mazarine, a young woman caught between the complexities of her marriage and the constrained life of a small Western town. The novel opens with her and her much older husband, Joel, moving to Askatoon, immediately attracting the curiosity of the local community. Joel, a weathered and older man, contrasts sharply with his youthful wife, evoking mixed reactions from the townspeople-sympathy for Louise's situation but also disapproval toward their unconventional relationship. As the couple settles into their new home, the tensions of their marriage become more evident, with Louise's desire for a more vibrant life at odds with her duties. The opening chapters set the stage for an exploration of love, personal freedom, and societal expectations, as Louise begins to question the boundaries of her world and the role she is expected to play in it.

His works often combined elements of romance, adventure, and historical fiction, earning him a significant readership. Some of his notable novels include ""The Seats of the Mighty,"" which is set during the British conquest of Quebec, and ""The Right of Way,"" which explores themes of redemption and identity in the Canadian wilderness. His writing style was characterized by detailed descriptions, strong character development, and an ability to weave historical facts with engaging narratives.
