I was given this book for Christmas from my granddaughters who bought the book from the author at the Oregon State Fair and it is an autographed copy to me. I had a hard time putting the book down and participating in other activities during 'Christmas. It is very well written and has plots coming from different directions that tie very well together. I have been interested in the history of the orphan trains so this added an interest for me and being a resident of Idaho I learned some other items concerning Idaho history.

Adam, My husband and I purchased the book at the Senior Center on Tuesday. I just finished reading it. What a great book!I truly enjoyed it. I could hardly put it down. It's one of those books that you don't want to end. I got so attached to Jacob and his whole family. I felt like I wanted to know each of them better. Thank you for the great entertainment! When I bought the book on Tuesday I thought that the price was kind of high, but it was worth it. Gail ( & John) Goble
