A Token of Love

By: Carrie Turansky

Narrated by: Susan Lyons

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.

Interesting storyline

I enjoyed this story very much. It was my first by this author and my first dual timeline story. Both plots kept me interested and I really enjoy this narrator.

A Story For The Heart-

A Token of Love paints a vivid picture of London’s Foundling Hospital and historical Foundling Museum, past and present. The past includes the disappearance of a group of young girls while the present questions the discovery of the event. Again, Carrie Turansky beautifully weaves settings and characters, real and fictional, into a tale that is both emotional and inspirational. This story is, no doubt, one for the keeper shelf.

The narration of this audiobook is authentic and relaxing. Susan Lyons accent, inflections and portrayal of different characters proves to capture the story and bring it to life. I highly recommend it.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received the ebook format from a LibraryThing giveaway through the publisher, free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review. I purchased the audiobook format.

Great dual-timeline story!

This was a great story set in two different time periods yet following the same story. A moving love story as well!
