Lady in Waiting by Susan Meissner Review

Lady in Waiting By Susan Meissner / WaterBrook Press While Jane Lindsay waits for her husband to decide if they’ll stay married, she finds a 16th-century betrothal ring. Certain that it belonged to Lady Jane Grey, she’s drawn to the parallels in their lives. Was Tudor England’s 9-day queen another victim of other people’s choices? Will Manhattan’s Jane realize she’s responsible for her own happiness? 352 pages, softcover from Waterbrook.

My Review:

This book was almost like reading two stories in one. You started out with the modern day Jane Lindsay and then would go into the historical Lady Jane Grey’s life. Both Jane’s felt that they had not made any choices in their own lives and yet they both learn that they do make choices and that they did not have to allow other’s to dictate how their life went.

 

I found the story of both Jane’s very interesting and both lives have imprinted on me. Having the historical aspect is what really drew me to the story.  I believe that we all need to learn that we have to make our own choices in life and not allow others to make choices for us. We are the only ones in life that are responsible for our own happiness. No one else can make us happy.

 

I really enjoyed the story and think you will too.
