Eight-year-old Maelle Gallagher and her younger siblings Mattie and Molly are orphaned in a New York tenement fire and sent west on an orphan train. Despite Maelle’s determination to keep the three together, they are separated into different homes in Missouri, and she vows to find them again. Seventeen years later, each sibling has been shaped by a very different life while Maelle’s search continues. Kim Vogel Sawyer’s Christian historical novel follows the emotional consequences of orphan-train separation through faith, family memory, and the hope that bonds formed in childhood can survive years apart.
