A Feeling of Home

Written by Susan Anne Mason

Narrated by Morgan Hallett

Can she set aside the pain from the past to embrace a new love?

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

Mark Henshaw has admired Isabelle for several months, but after the tragic death of her mother, he vows to make amends for the past and help her find her way.

But when Mark learns his younger brother has formed an undesirable friendship with Isabelle’s sister—one that brings a whole new set of problems into their lives—he doesn’t know if Isabelle will ever forgive him.

When startling developments begin to take place, both within Isabelle’s heart and their siblings’ relationship, her future looks very different than anything she could have imagined.

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.

I very much enjoyed this story, set in 1944 Toronto. I have not read the prior stories in the series, I had no problem reading this as a stand-alone. I could tell that certain supporting characters had had their stories told previously, but I did not feel I was missing critical information. Both Mark and Isabelle have to deal with a series of blows affecting themselves and their families. The difficulties that they face in carving out a relationship are entirely in keeping with their tragic circumstances and personal upheavals, The misunderstandings can be frustrating to the reader, but they are believable.I did question why WWII plays such a minor role in the story. It really doesn't come up at all until the end when one character joins the service. I realize Canada did not have a universal draft like the U, S. did, but it seemed strange that there were so many men in the story of an age to be in the armed forces who weren't, and no-one seemed to think anything of it. I was also unhappy that a character that cause a great deal of harm to Isabelle's younger sister was not held accountable in any way. But overall, it was a very satisfying story.I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for an honest review.

This is a wonderful historical romance. This has a fantastic story. I loved Isabelle who is very strong and learns to handle adversity very well. I also really like Mark who also has overcome some major hardships. I love how this shows how hardy people can be when faced with problems. I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
