Twelve-year-old Marie never imagined she would become an orphan.
After losing her mother, Marie is sent from New York City on an orphan train, carrying her far from the only life she has ever known.
When an elderly couple chooses her, she keeps her distance. No matter how kind they seem, she cannot risk opening her heart again.
Yet as Marie settles into her new life, she begins to see something different in the people around her. Their faith, their compassion, and their unwavering belief in a loving God challenge everything she has accepted as truth.
As Marie struggles to make sense of her new life, she must decide whether to cling to the beliefs she's always known or trust the God who may have been pursuing her all along.
Inspired by the real-life American Orphan Train movement, Journey to Love is a Christian young adult historical fiction novella about faith, family, and finding a place to call home.
