The Orphan Collector
by Ellen Marie Wiseman
Yowza! If you didn’t know that The Orphan Collector was set in 1918, it would seem relevant to the events of 2020. The Spanish Flu is ravaging people all over the city and Pia, a 12 y/o daughter of German immigrants, is forced to make an adult decision regarding the survival of what’s left of her family. Bernice, a woman who’s lost her husband to the war and baby son to the flu, takes advantage of the situation and changes Pia’s life forever. Pia is moved to an orphanage where she encounters Bernice again, but under a villainous, deceitful disguise.
It made me sick to my stomach to see how Bernice treated immigrants and made excuses for her motives and wicked plans. And Pia never gave up, because she was the beacon of hope.
