Publisher's summary
Baby born September 5th 1934, approximately. Place of birth, unknown; father, unknown; mother unknown.
Present day. Sarah Jennings knows there’s one place she can go to find some peace and quiet during her difficult divorce. But arriving at her beloved father’s home in the countryside, she finds him unwell and hunched over boxes of files, studying the records from Cedar Hall, the crumbling orphanage in town. He says that hidden behind the wrought iron gates and overgrown ivy are secrets about their family, and he asks for her help.
Sarah goes to speak to Connie Burroughs, the only person left alive who lived at Cedar Hall. Her questions take Connie from the comfort of her nursing home right back to a chilly night in 1934, when as a little girl she saw her own father carrying a newborn baby, bundled in rags, that he said he’d found near the broken front gate. The day Connie began to protect his secrets.
But just as Sarah begins to convince Connie that the truth can set her free, she realizes that unlocking the past might have heartbreaking consequences...
An emotional and uplifting reminder that incredible acts of courage can change the course of history, Ann Bennett’s powerful tale is inspired by the lives of the children who lived at her great-grandfather’s orphanage. Fans of Before We Were Yours, The Orphan’s Tale, and The Orphan Train will be hooked.
This book was previously published as The Foundling’s Daughter.

When the most famous toddler in America, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., is kidnapped from his family home in 1932, the case makes international headlines. Already celebrated for his flight across the Atlantic, his father, Charles, Sr., is the country’s golden boy, with his wealthy, lovely wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, by his side. But there’s someone else in their household—Betty Gow, a formerly obscure young woman, now known around the world by another name: the Lindbergh Nanny. Betty must find the truth in order to clear her own name—and to find justice for the child she loves.

Polly has two sets of memories.... One is normal: school, home, friends. The other, stranger memories begin nine years ago, when she was 10 and gate-crashed an odd funeral in the mansion near her grandmother's house. Polly's just beginning to recall the sometimes marvelous, sometimes frightening adventures she embarked on with Tom Lynn after that. And then she did something terrible, and everything changed. But what did she do? Why can't she remember? Polly must uncover the secret, or her true love - and perhaps Polly herself - will be lost.

Sometimes I had a little hard time following. The ending was to fast. It was a long climb to get to the story point and the closing I wanted more. I always like when the author tells a little about how and what their research gave them. This book did not have that.

India and England
I enjoyed listing to this book and the narrator was superb! The story itself was plausible and I really enjoyed the parts describing India. The time line of the story was annoying at times when it would reference that a few days had passed for Connie however for Sarah she’d been getting weekly updates from a solicitor. The author needs to pay more attention to the timeline of the setting.

OUTSTANDING
I'm not sure I can find words to express how much I loved this book. It's the best book I have listened to in a long time. I was hooked by the first paragraph to the very end. I had so many emotions while listening. My favorite character was Connie. I felt so sorry for the life she lived and the fear of her father that gripped her for her entire life. The plot had so many twists and turns and it wasn't the kind of book that you could figure it out for yourself what was going to happen. There were a few parts that were eery and sent chills down my spine. I loved this book from the first paragraph to the very end and am sad that it's over.

Intriguing
Excellent historical novel of a seldom discussed part of British history. It is a personal story of a young woman’s struggles as she tries to build a new life in British India. It is also the story of an orphanage and the family running it in England. It further explores the story of a man in search of his past and his daughter seeking her future. The individual stories touch each other in intriguing ways and stretch across three generations. It is history, family life, young women growing, romance and mystery all rolled into one book. Well worth the time to read or listen to. I did audio because I had driving and waiting time to fill. It was a delightful way to fill that time.
