Another winner from gifted storyteller Carrie Turansky! A Token of Love features two equally compelling timelines set in London in 1885 and present-day. The transitions are seamless in the cleverly plotted story. This captivating, touching read kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. The historical detail is amazing! Real people and places are expertly intertwined with the fictional ones. The Foundling Hospital is prominent in the historical story, and the Foundling Museum is the focus in the present-day story in which the echoes of the past are being heard in the present. The brilliantly crafted, realistic characters are easy to connect with and care about. Two heartwarming love stories add interest and depth to the story. I appreciate the encouraging faith thread that reminds us to trust God during difficult times and not let the past dictate the present and future. Ms. Turansky tackles the relevant issue of human trafficking head-on, but thoughtfully, raising awareness of the problem. I thoroughly enjoyed this inspiring, satisfying read and highly recommend it as a must read for fans of inspirational historical romance and dual-time stories.

In this outstanding dual-time story, Carrie Turansky delivers a well-researched, enthralling tale. London's Foundling Hospital is the connection between the settings of 1885 and present. Characters in both eras have committed their lives to ensure the safety and well being of children afflicted by poverty and circumstance. With captivating mystery and tender, heartfelt moments, this book is hard to put down. The author handles a difficult topic with beauty and grace. I highly recommend reading this touching historical fiction.

More than 5 stars for this book! I loved everything about it! My favorite setting is at Lillian's house. Her private garden is a place of tranquility and restfulness. There's some drama and two sweet love stories!

The characters are relatable and easy to like! I have many favorites, but Lillian is my #1! She's resourceful, generous, compassionate, and caring! Her faith in God is inspiring. Even when all seems lost, she perseveres and doesn't give up.

The dual timeline and the way that they joined brought the past and the present together seamlessly. I found the subject of the tokens fascinating. The author's note is definitely a must-read!

Some difficult issues are mentioned throughout the book. Abandonment, human trafficking and abducted children. While these may be sensitive topics, they are important to be aware of.
