Searching for you was written by Jody Hedlund and is the third book in the Orphan Train series.
Summary: Sophie Neumann will do anything to care for orphans Olivia and Nicholas. She loves them like they were her own. But, being an orphan herself, things are getting desperate. How can she continue to provide for them and keep them safe?
When Sophie and her friend Anna witness a murder, they are forced to flee for their lives by boarding the orphan train heading west. But Sophie has plenty of misgivings-will she be able to keep them all together? Is this what is really best for Olivia and Nicholas?
The last thing she wants to be is a failure, but everything in her heart is telling her she is not good enough. It has to be true, or why would her sisters have abandoned her when she needed them the most?
For now, all she can do is her best for Olivia and Nicholas, and she will-no matter what the cost to herself.
My Thoughts: This is a great book. The writing is wonderful, there are plenty of twists and turns, great characters, and the book does a great job finishing off the series. I also really liked reading more about the history of the orphan train-such a fascinating part of American history.
You can read this book on its own, but I do recommend reading the other books first-simply because there are so many characters and so much backstory, you can enjoy this book more with a better understanding of the full picture. Otherwise, this is a wonderful book, and I really enjoyed it!
