"To Find Her Place," by Susan Anne Mason

"To Find Her Place," by Susan Anne Mason


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 Garret's early suspicions, a friendship grows and feelings begin to blossom. But when 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?

This book is the second book in the Redemption Series of books by Susan.  This book made you think and brought to light how WWII affected everyone.  The one thing that stood out, was the struggle to find foster parents during the war because most men were away at war.  People who were left behind were struggling and taking on extra mouths to feed during that time wasn't an option for many.

It also brings to light different attitudes that were a priority during those times; things that nowadays we would never think of.  Add in mystery and romance and it's my type of book.

Stars out of 5 : 5 This book is well worth reading.  I found it very interesting from a historical sense.  I am looking forward the next in the series, and as always please read the author's notes as they are also quite interesting.
