TO FIND HER PLACE by SUSAN ANNE MASON
Publication date 1/6/21
TO FIND HER PLACE is the second novel in the Redemption's Lighr series by SUSAN ANNE MASON, but it easily stands alone. It is a sensitively written story of broken people, redemption, unconditional love and second chances, with unforgettable characters.
The story takes place in Toronto during the second world war with Jane Linder, the acting director of the Children's Aid Society, and Garrett Wilder, an independent advisor who is hoping to get the managing director's job now that his war injuries make it impossible for him to work on his father's farm. Jane also badly needs the job as she is divorced and takes care of her elderly mother. In spite of this they need to learn to work together.
Then we have the abandoned children, who are more numerous now due to the harsh wartime economy and the diminishing number of willing foster parents - a heart wrenching dilemma. Both Jane and Garrett believe that each child deserves a loving home in which they can develop their full potential.
There is a great deal more to the novel, which I found most inspirational. There is a strong sense of God's purposes and plans working out in people's lives as they learn to trust Him.
I am not going to tell you any more as I do not want to spoil the read for you.
It is a lovely book and one I highly recommend.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
