Theodor's Choice Ingrid McCarthy

Past and present collide in Theodor's Choice, a compelling multigenerational love story that sweeps from Canada in the present-day to Germany, Russia and Poland during the Second World War. Sylvia Baintz discovers a diary written by her late mother. Not only does the diary give her a glimpse into her grandmother's and mother's troubled lives, but it also leads her to a secret that has remained hidden for many years. On a whim, she travels from Vancouver to Oxford Mills, a hamlet in eastern Ontario, where she hopes to find an answer to the mystery. In Oxford Mills, her search for the truth takes an unexpected turn and, suddenly, she finds herself on an emotional journey that leads to self-discovery, healing, and a new life. Theodor's Choice explores the question of identity, abandonment, atonement, and the impact of fate on the lives of three women.
