Customer Reviews

A delightful story of young girls overcoming odds to become a well rounded, helpful adults.

This is the fifth in the series of the Orphan Train Series. It is about two sisters that are separated when they were three and four years old, in spite of the fact that their mother asked for them to be placed together. They were both faced with good times and bad, as we all are. It is heartwarming how the chain of events bring them to adulthood. After reading KIT, I got the four other books of the series. A winter storm gave me a perfect opportunity to read the four books in twenty four hours! They are very engaging. Although the stories are all about girls that are orphaned, none of the stories are the same. The author did an excellent job weaving stories about them.

Great
