I loved this book by Christina Baker Kline. The story was vivid and characters were unforgettable. From little Carmine who sucked sugar off Niamh’s fingers on the Orphan Train to Dutchy who caused all sorts of ruckus when he tried to run away in Chicago to Mr. Miller who loved Rachel and cared for her when she needed it most. I give the story 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who loves a good story of overcoming obstacles. I often would think the story would go in one direction, just to be surprised that it was taking a different turn. It constantly kept me on my feet and kept me engaged.

I used Whispersync to listen/read this book and it was great. It worked really well and I found that I listened to the book more than I read it because I loved the narration.
