To Find Her Place

 

Back Cover

Can they find their way to the right future 

amid the uncertainty that faces them?

In the midst of WWII, Jane Linder pours all her energy and dreams for a family into her career at the Toronto Children's Aid Society. As acting directress, Jane hopes for a permanent appointment so she can continue making a difference in the lives of children. But if the board were to find out she is divorced, everything would change.

Garrett Wilder has been hired to overhaul operations at the Children's Aid Society and investigate a report of misused funds. He hopes to impress the board members with his findings and earn the vacant director's position. A war injury ended his dream of taking over his parents' farm, but with the security of the director's job, he'd be able to contribute financially and help save the family business.

Despite their competing interests and Garrett's early suspicions, a friendship grows and feelings begin to blossom. But then Jane receives an unexpected opportunity that could fulfill her deepest desires, she finds herself at a crossroads. Can she discern the path to true happiness?

Review

This was a beautiful, albeit, heart-rending story that revolves around loss.  Loss of children, spouse, health, etc. Life is meaningful and wonderful, but as To Find Her Place aptly describes, we can encounter many trials and times of despair along the way.  

Jane and Garrett both suffered through enormous loss and relied heavily on their faith and family to pull them through. And now they are chasing after the same goal.  From the outward appearance, they are both vying for the position of directorship of the Toronto Children's Aid Society. Indirectly, they are both seeking recognition and acceptance in the eyes of their peers. The position provides them both with an opportunity to visibly overcome the obstacles they've faced in their lives and also be involved in providing meaningful futures for children in need.

I was swept along in Jane's and Garrett's stories. They are characters you cheer on from the sidelines, hoping against hope they achieve their dreams...and find love along the way of course! The author did a great job in making the characters' journeys fraught with difficulties which made me wonder if there would actually be a happy ending! I won't spill the beans other than to say, you must read the story in order to find out - you'll be glad you did! It's a fantastic continuation of the "Redemption's Light" series and a truly wonderful story.
