In 1885 London, Lillian Freemont embarks on a treacherous journey to reunite with her long-lost niece who was abandoned at the Foundling Hospital eight years ago. Fueled by her sister's plea and armed with the gold token that identifies her niece, Lillian teams up with investigative reporter Matthew McGivern to expose the grim reality of the shadowed streets of London. As Lillian and Matthew unravel the mystery of Alice's disappearance, their partnership blossoms into one of shared purpose and undeniable attraction.
In present-day London, Janelle Spencer finds herself unexpectedly running the Foundling Museum. When filmmaker Jonas Conrad arrives to document the museum's history, their collaboration takes a surprising turn as they uncover articles from the past that shed light on a haunting connection to the present. As Janelle becomes caught between exposing the truth and protecting the museum's reputation, she must decide if she can risk everything for what she believes.
In this heartfelt dual-time tale, bestselling author Carrie Turansky weaves a story of two eras bridged by the quest for love and truth.
MY THOUGHTS.....
We're aware that human trafficking is prevalent in today's society, but this new book by author Carrie Turansky reminds us that women and children have long been victims of this evil. She uses a dual timeline story, set in both Victorian England and the present, to tell the touching story of women and children in need of protection from people wanting to take advantage of them.
A Token of Love is a poignant reminder of an issue that has long plagued those unable to protect themselves! I loved learning about the London Foundling Hospital, the Foundling Museum, and the tokens that mothers left with their babies so that they could easily identify them if they were ever in the position to return and reclaim them. Turansky weaves these facts into a mesmerizing tale of good versus evil and she buffers it with an inspiring reminder of God's protection and provision. I admit that I enjoy a book with history, mystery, and romance but A Token of Love offers so much more! It is a powerful narrative of love, faith, and perseverance and an emotional story of the heart! I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction told in dual-timeline stories.
I received a complimentary copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.
