Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This sounds like an introduction to my hometown, and I guess my question is sort of related. Anyway, I'm curious if anyone knows of resources about the French Huguenots/Fr. Wars of Religion that wouldn't have a heavy anti-Catholic bias. While I could just kind of gloss over this period, I feel I'd be doing the kids a disservice if I did.

My husband's family is descended from Huguenots who wound up in Ohio several generations later. It's kind of serendipitous that I hail from a town in NY founded by Huguenots. We'll be visiting this summer, so it would be kind of nice for the kids to have some understanding about this segment of history.

I'm curious about the following titles:
Huguenot Garden
Escape Across the Wide Sea
