This was a different type of book for me and I found that
very interesting. Starting with the
Orphan Train, which I have read about before, and then the departure from the orphanage
and the issues that brought that Lily had to endure. Lily meets someone upon her leaving who has
quickly befriended her and helped her as well.
Francis is a roustabout working for a traveling circus. He is a hard working member of the circus “family”
and helps in all ways that he can.
I enjoyed this book very much. I felt the struggles that Lily has
experienced by the author’s description and even though she has left the orphanage
environment, things still are not always as hoped. It is a good story and definitely one to
read.
I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and
all thoughts and opinions are my own.
