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.

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.

Another fantastic story by Carrie Turansky. She does an especially good job of connecting a current day issue with a historical perspective. This book is so much more than a love story. Although there is some romance this book is more about the love between a mother and child, and how far a mother/aunt will go to get their child back. If you think its important to speak up for those who are unable to then you will really enjoy this book. I honestly think many people would enjoy this book and maybe even learn something. I didn’t really know much about the tokens left with children at the foundling hospital, but I found it fascinating.

This book took my breath away. It had two story lines about 200 years apart. Four main characters that were quite a like in many ways. Matthew and Jonas were GOD fearing men who took their responsibilities very seriously. Lillian and Janelle were afraid to open their hearts due to their pasts. But were Matthew and Jonas worth the risk? The book was "A Token of Love" given to us by the author, Carrie Turansky. It touched my heart. It made me stop and think. It made me cry. I loved the story. It wasn't always easy to read but it was so worth it. A treasure.
Beautiful and heartbreaking story.

A Token of Love is a dual-timeline historical fiction novel set in England, both Victorian times and current day. The mystery in each story was compelling, personal to the characters, and the focus of the plot. I learned so much about misconceptions and prejudices of poor women and children in Victorian London. I fell in love with the characters and their stories. Their hearts for helping others, even at their own peril, was encouraging. I enjoyed seeing the romances. Both were "close proximity" trope and such natural relationships blossoming into more. This story deals with the heartbreaking topic of human trafficking, but it ends with a message of love and hope. I received this book from Bethany House publisher and NetGalley. Opinions are my own.

Another winner from gifted storyteller Carrie Turansky! A Token of Love features two equally compelling timelines set in London in 1885 and present-day. The transitions are seamless in the cleverly plotted story. This captivating, touching read kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. The historical detail is amazing! Real people and places are expertly intertwined with the fictional ones. The Foundling Hospital is prominent in the historical story, and the Foundling Museum is the focus in the present-day story in which the echoes of the past are being heard in the present. The brilliantly crafted, realistic characters are easy to connect with and care about. Two heartwarming love stories add interest and depth to the story. I appreciate the encouraging faith thread that reminds us to trust God during difficult times and not let the past dictate the present and future. Ms. Turansky tackles the relevant issue of human trafficking head-on, but thoughtfully, raising awareness of the problem. I thoroughly enjoyed this inspiring, satisfying read and highly recommend it as a must read for fans of inspirational historical romance and dual-time stories. I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
