Another Home Run!
Kim Vogel Sawyer has hit another home run with this latest
historical novel. Three orphaned Irish-immigrant children
become separated when they are sent to Missouri to be
adopted. Maelle, age eight, remembers her father’s last words,
“Watch the wee ones.” But circumstances have ripped her
siblings from her sight. Seventeen years later, she still longs to
find them. She wonders if she will ever see Mattie and Molly
again. Matt remembers he had two sisters, one older and one
just a baby. His adopted life has meant a series of temporary
homes—some good and some abusive. He hopes to find a new
life when he accepts employment as a ranch hand. Molly only
remembers her name as Isabelle, the loved daughter of a
wealthy family. When her parents die, she is unwilling to accept
her brother’s story that she was adopted and is the youngest of
three orphaned Gallagher children.
With the years, hope of a reunion seems impossible. But
whispered prayers and a faith that sustains proves to be
greater than the obstacles.
Kim Sawyer has weaved another heart warming story. She has
taken a little known piece of history, the Orphan trains that
churned their way out West form 1854 to 1929, the desperate
solution to find homes for the thousands of children who
crowded city orphanages, and brought the plight of thousands
alive in the hearts of three unforgettable characters.
