A Token of Love

By Carrie Turansky

MY REVIEW

I think this is this author’s best book that I have read. I’ve only missed a few of the early ones. It was so well written, and the characters really leap off the page. They are so well developed and fleshed out that they seem real. 

I love split time stories, but there is usually ones far prefer above the other. That wasn’t true with this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the present day as well as the historical story.
This story is very much plot driven. I don’t know why, but it did take me a bit to get into the story. I’m blaming it on my mood since it was such a well done read that’s eventually stayed up into the night to read. Both stories had such good plots to them and those plots keep the reader turning the pages .
The research is interesting, and this author is always good at that. This story just seemed to be a bit different than her others, and it is really has a lot of emotion and faith based theme throughout .

I love the children in the story. It’s such a sweet part of the novel. It closes with a beautiful epilogue. This is a book that historical fiction fans won’t want to miss!

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

No Ocean Too Wide

by Carrie Turansky


This was a fascinating piece of history about which I knew nothing. Taking children that aren’t wanted or are living on the streets, to a new world with parents waiting for them. It sounds like a wonderful idea, but with some involved it became a scary time for children and parents.

This book follows several characters in this backdrop of history. The characters are well done, and I enjoyed getting to learn about this time in history through their eyes. I found myself wondering what choices I would make in certain situations. It wasn’t exactly black and white for those who so very much wanted to right the wrongs that had occurred. The faith theme in this book is present and a good one! I always enjoy when Christian elements are present in Christian Fiction.

So take yourself on a journey through an interesting time in history…think of why your emotions, feelings, and mind would have suffered.
