Publisher Description

CBA best-selling author Kim Vogel Sawyer - ACF Book of the Year winner for Waiting for Summer's Return - delivers enthralling, historically rich tales whose unforgettable characters resonate with poignant intensity and compelling authenticity.

After a New York tenement fire kills their immigrant parents in 1886, Maelle, Mattie, and Molly Gallagher soon find themselves aboard a crowded orphan train - hoping a family will adopt them in Missouri. Despite eight-year-old Maelle's best efforts to keep the young survivors together, they must split up. A traveling photographer adopts her, a grieving family takes Mattie, and a wealthy couple claims Molly. Keeping her parents' ribbon-wrapped love letters, Maelle entrusts the fading family picture to Mattie and the well-worn family Bible to Molly. And, in a tearful parting, Maelle vows to one day find her younger siblings.

"It took me about 4 days to read this book because I couldn't wait for the end. I thought it was amazing how well the Maelle and Mattie turned out without consistency in their lives and how kind Isabelle was in spite of being spoiled and living with a resentful brother. I was enthralled because the same thing that was bringing the town together was bringing the siblings together. My only complaint is that the ending seemed rushed. The reunion, the wedding, and the ground breaking were all within the last few pages and I also would have liked more details with the Jackson/Maelle relationship. I guess that shows how caught up I was to not want it to end."

    " Better than your average cheesy-Christian-romance-novel. Interesting insight into the "orphan trains" that sent orphans out west to live with families. This sweet story was unusual at the time, I'm sure, but inspiring to read. It made me grateful my family is still intact and my siblings and parents are in close contact! "

    " I liked the characters and got hooked on the story, but I felt there was too much of an effort to work in the Christian elements. It felt like an interruption rather than the true feelings of some the characters; the effect was a little bit too "preachy" for my taste. "

    " although the Nook version of this book had quite a few errors throughout, I really enjoyed this book. As an adopted child, I was really touched by the stories of the characters in this book. "

    " Nothing really extraordinary. It was a fairly quick read. I guess Christian Historical Fiction is not really my genre. "

    " I liked the genre of Christian Fiction because I was worried about what I might read as I turned the page. There was a big feel of the Bible belt area with the main characters and their friends all finding Jesus. Not having lived in the deep south, I wasn't sure if it was irreverent to read His name used so frequently, but it was all in praise so that was a really nice change. "

    " Four stars. I enjoy Kim Vogel Sawyer's writings. This is a wonderful story about Orphan Train children with a happy ending. The book jumps around a bit and it is a little hard to imagine such a good outcome. Kudos for Sawyer as the book has strong Christian lines. "

    " This sweet book kept me captvated from the heart-wrenching beginning to the heart-warming end. If I had any critique, it would be the repetitiveness. Sawyer repeated Maelle's "scalp-tickle" around Isabelle way too many times. But all in all, it was a great read. "
