BRIGHTEST OF DREAMS by SUSAN ANNE MASON is a Christian historical romance which takes place in 1919. Whilst the author deals with some heavy subjects, mainly the British Home Children in Canada, the overall message is one of hope.
When Quinten Aspinall, the Earl of Brentwood's valet, asks for leave in order to find his siblings who have been sent to Canada from the Barnado home in England, he is asked by his employer to try and find his neice, Julia Holloway, as well.
The story is very well told and gives us a great deal of food for thought. There are some really likeable characters who we come to admire for the way they deal with what they have been forced to endure. Unconditional love, righteous anger, compassion and protection of one's fellow man, especially where children are concerned, and the importance of speaking up against injustice, are all topics that form part of the strong Christian message running through the story.
It is altogether an enjoyable and inspirational read.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
This story was hard to put down. Quinn began his journey in England, and was going to Canada in hopes of finding his three siblings, who had been shipped off by mistake. His employer asks him to locate his niece while he was there. He finds her and a friendship forms between them. As their friendship develops, their feeling grow toward one another as he finds each sibling. Secrets are held, and then discovered as they begin to fall in love. An excellent story I will enjoy reading over and over again.
My favorite in the series!
I loved Quinn and Julia so much!
Honestly, this book has some difficult topics that were not easy to read about. I really loved how all of these concerning situations were dealt with by prayer and a lot of grace. I also loved how people always banded together to help each other and how honesty was always best in the end.
I loved the romance in this book. It wasn't over the top - but it was true and overcame hardships. I also loved the importance of family.
I think my favorite part of this book was Quinn. He was always there for everyone. He always put everyone else first and always supported his friends and family. I also loved how he handled some things at the end of the book.
I've really enjoyed this series!
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
