"Looking for Jane" by Heather Marshall. I knew almost immediately that this book was going to be very special. It will be my favorite book of the year and read in the second month of the year. I can't imagine anything topping it. It's an important book, too, with what is going on right now in our country. And written as the authors first book. I wonder if she can "top" herself. I believe every woman owes it to herself to read this and learn so much from it. We just can't go back and have to look for Jane.

This is *Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall* - a #1 international bestseller.

Published *February 2023* - her debut novel. It's inspired by true stories from Canada.

Here is a summary in English:

*Three women, three timelines, connected by one lost letter and a secret network called Jane:*

*2017 - Toronto:*

*Angela Creighton*, in her 30s, has just suffered her second miscarriage. She is devastated and grieving. While browsing in an antique store, she finds a box of donated books.

Inside is an *undelivered letter*, addressed to *Nancy Mitchell*. It was written in 2015 by Nancy's dying adoptive mother, Frances.

The confession: Frances admits she never told Nancy the truth - that Nancy was adopted in *1961 from St. Agnes's Home for Unwed Mothers* in Toronto.

Angela herself is adopted and has recently reconnected with her birth mother, so the letter hits her hard. She decides she must find this Nancy Mitchell and deliver the letter, even though Nancy has moved.
