The Brightest of Dreams" By Susan Mason

-
The Brightest of Dreams"  By Susan Mason is the  third book in the Canadian Crossings series. This  series is an historical fiction  series.  It  takes place in  Derbyshire  , England in Spring of 1919.  The setting  goes  between the   wealthy   estate of Lord Brentwood's  estate in Derbyshire, England  and  Nova Scotia , Canada. One of the themes  is rich vs poor.  Quinn  the main character has a heart for doing what is  right. He  has  good character. He wants to do what is right no matter what the cost is for him.  I  like his character since He   values what is lasting instead of  just material  worth.  During this time in history there are many children who become orphans. Some of the children  that have become orphans are  sent to Canada and it is hard  to reconnect with   the children after  they are  placed in an orphanage.   The orphanage has rules that regulate   their system. The parents  either  die or can not  care for  their children due to  illness or other circumstances.  The book was  very well written.  I  like the way the author  weaves Christian  principles in the book. Thank you to  the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read and review  this  wonderful book.   I will post my book on netgalley, Goodreads, facebook, my blog, and with Church staff.
