Here is the book summary:
Marianne Neumann has one goal in life: to find her lost younger sister, Sophie. When Marianne takes a job as a placing agent with the Children's Aid Society in 1858 New York, she not only hopes to give children a better life but seeks to discover whether Sophie ended up leaving the city on an orphan train.
Andrew Brady, her fellow agent on her first placing trip, is a former schoolteacher who has an easy way with the children--firm but tender and funny. Underneath his handsome charm, though, seems to linger a grief that won't go away--and a secret from his past that he keeps hidden. As the two team up placing orphans amid small railroad towns in Illinois, they find themselves growing ever closer . . . until a shocking tragedy threatens to upend all their work and change one of their lives forever.

And now, my review:
The orphan train is heading out again and it's a great time boarding the train and heading out with most of these characters. There's always one in the bunch... isn't there? This author has a way with her words and I love how she makes a book come alive. I found that it was full of adventure, romance, and new beginnings. All things that make up a great read. This is another great one by Jody, check it out for yourself!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
