Separated by centuries, the lives of two
women intertwine through their shared pursuit of love, truth, and justice.
In 1885 London, Lillian Freemont embarks on a treacherous
journey to reunite with her long-lost niece, Alice, 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.
My Thoughts:
A Token of Love by Carrie Turansky highlights the world of
Human Trafficking in modern times and in the past. In London, Turansky focuses
on a foundling hospital and the good work that they do for orphans, but then
there is a dark, seedy side to the organization. Both stories depend on
something that happened in the past, and how it reflects and affects the future
storyline. The plot was a little sad that human trafficking still happens today
as it did in the past. Readers will enjoy how Turansky weaves the two
storylines seamlessly. The characters dove deep into their emotions. I really
enjoyed how Turansky created a storyline that depended on the historical
aspects. The plot kept my attention, and I wanted to see how the
happily-ever-after moment would happen. I loved seeing the setting of London,
and how Turansky will draw readers into the setting as much as the plot. As for
the spiritual element, it was most definitely there, and I enjoy how it flowed
naturally from certain characters. Overall, A Token of Love by Carrie Turansky
is an eye-opening historical novel that has great characters that captured my
attention. I recommend this book.
