Book Review: "The Forgotten Orphan" By Glynis Peters

 

Glynis Peters has created a lovely story with The Forgotten Orphan in which love always finds a way to one another's hearts.

The story begins during WWII with economic uncertainty and prosperity on the back burner because many were simply struggling to survive while battling for their nation.

Men were being shipped overseas while women were finding new roles in the workplace with feminism rising within factories and beyond.

All of this seemed to falter to the side when Maisie Reynolds sought to find her twin brother Jack whom she was separated from after being sent to Holly Bush Orphanage.

I'm certain I read this book twice as I was on the finished page when I began but it's ok to read things twice as I enjoyed it just as much the second time.

Cam is the Canadian paratrooper that swoops in during the second half of this story to steal Maisie's heart - a heart that had been damage from being isolated without companionship or parental guidance.

She's longed for this romance as she tended to the war-torn- injured soldiers of this era in the hospital beds.

This was a book that had a strong plot, various characters that took hold and accountability, and numerous sticking points that brought it all home.

The ending was superb with a nice twist in finding the time to get a gem and securing a hand to hold.

Thank you to Glynis Peters, the pub One More Chapter, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
