Searching for you (book 3 Orphan train series) by Jody Hedlund
( Library loan )
I didn’t know this was part of a series until I already started reading it. And I won’t be going back for the other two. This book follows the life of Sophie Neuman who is an orphan raising two other orphans in the 1850s. They start out in New York living rough until an event happens that causes them to have to flee. They board an orphan train that is going west to bring children to the Midwest for adoption or indenture. Sophie is separated from her charges and with the help of an old friend must fight to rescue them from an abusive life. In the process Sophie finds faith and a home for them all. It’s written well but a little too Preachy for my personal liking.
