The life of Marie Rollet took off with a gentle sunny spring morning on her way to the apothecary. Behind the counter, her face was the fate of Louis HÔebert. Between the two, they began a tender love story that took them to New France where they lived an exemplary life. Because she was the first mother to settle in the country with her children and because she has never lost heart despite the many trials that have dotted her life, Marie Rollet deserves to wear the title " Mother of New France "
