A Feeling of Home

By Susan Anne Mason

Book Overview

Isabelle Wardrop's well-to-do life has totally unraveled. Within months, she's lost both her parents, her fortune, and her home. With nowhere else to turn, she and her younger sister, Marissa, move in with a trusted former servant in an impoverished area of the city. Needing to look for a job, but having no qualifications, Isabelle is forced to accept help from Dr. Mark Henshaw, the very man she blames for her mother's death.

She lands a job at a Toronto hotel but struggles to adjust and worries about her sister, Marissa, who has started a friendship with a boy and seems uninterested in her schooling. To make matters worse, Marissa's crush is Joshua Henshaw, the doctor's younger brother. Surprisingly, Isabelle finds an ally in Mark, and they team up to prevent the budding romance from ruining the teens' future plans.

Mark has hopes of earning Isabelle's forgiveness and affections. But a startling development in their siblings' relationship may derail any hope they have of starting their own.

lovely finale to a lovely series

It's a lovely ending to a lovely series. Susan Anne Mason deftly infuses Canadian history with faith and sweet romance. It was interesting to see 1944 through Canadian perspective and I really enjoyed getting to know Dr Henshaw better. The way that medicine and the medical hierarchy worked during this period was also fascinating to learn about. Dr Mark Henshaw is as upright, compassionate, thoughtful, tender and faithful as he appeared in the previous books, if not more so. Isabelle comes off harsh and haughty in the beginning, but her soft loving heart breaks through her grief and disappointment to be a beacon to others around her. Mark and Isabelle's perseverance and fortitude to find their dream, even in the midst of terrible circumstances, is encouraging. I really enjoyed seeing Olivia, Darius, and Jane from the previous books as secondary characters in this story. I received the book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
