Will the Mistakes of Their Past
Cost Them a Chance at Love?
Determined to find her lost younger sister, Marianne Neumann takes a job as a placing agent with the Children's Aid Society in 1858 New York. She not only hopes to offer children a better life, but prays she'll be able to discover whether Sophie ended up leaving the city on an orphan train so they can finally be reunited.
Andrew Brady, her fellow agent on her first placing-out trip, is a former schoolteacher who has an easy way with the children, firm but tender and friendly. Underneath his charm and handsome looks, though, seems to linger a grief that won't go away--and a secret from his past that he keeps hidden.
As the two team up, placing orphans in the small railroad towns of Illinois, they find themselves growing ever closer . . .until a shocking tragedy threatens to upend all their work and change on of their lives forever.
MY REVIEW
Love this series, of course I really enjoy every one of Jody's books that I've read. This is a very touching series and tells the heartstrings that are pulled on a caring person having to let children go to homes that they know nothing about when they have become attached. In a way this same thing happens today, not by train, but having to find homes for children whose parents can not care for them be it for health reasons, lack of a job and not able to care for them, neglect, abuse, drugs or any other number of things if this world. Put yourself in Marianne's position and think about how you would handle what life has dealt you.
