Heavysege's only novel, The advocate, a melodramatic tale which makes use of English and French antagonisms in Lower Canada. It is a classic of Canadian historical fiction. Heavysege left school at nine, to return only briefly later. He wrote in another letter that his father, through romantic idealism, had sold his patrimony and divided the money among relatives. The product of a circumscribed mind in a circumscribed environment, they contain flashes of acute human insight into moral problems and passages of great beauty. They are a monument to Heavysege's perseverance.

The story is based on the biblical tale of Jephthah, a judge of Israel, who made a vow to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house if he was victorious in battle. Unfortunately, his daughter was the first to greet him upon his return, and he was forced to fulfill his vow.The play explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of rash promises.
