I liked the Montana setting. ( ![]() ![]() Nara felt more comfortable in pants and men's clothes, of course. A dress could be a bother and a hazard out on the range. I, by the way, hated dresses with just as much passion as Nara. There many other ways that I identified with her. The children who rode out on the orphan train, endured being picked over and examined like they were livestock or future help for the family, not like future family, Charles,the oldest had developed a quick temper in his childhood in Hell's Kitchen in New York, on the skinnier and slighter build was a red-headed and freckled Irish boy who lost his parents to the Spanish Flu. The latter, named Patrick reminded me of my college literature teacher who lost his mother, father, sister and all his brother to the same. Perhaps if Patrick was adopted before going on the orphan train, he could have been a literature teacher. The last of the children on the long ride of the train was a very shy blonde girl who was tiny. She held her past hidden from others There are memorable characters like Nara's parents, but I do hope that you read this treasure of a book. After reading it, I hugged the book. Dianna Rostad can weave a tale from her own family tales and do it masterfully. I loved this book ![]() ![]() They eventually make their way to a homestead guarded by a hardened spinster named Nara, who is suspicious of their origins. She puts the boys to work on the farm while Nara's mother is totally besotted with Opal after having lost her other daughter at a young age. Nara's parents are much less suspicious of the children than Nara. She eventually comes to admire the boys' work ethic, and is Charles' staunch supporter when he most needs it. The history of orphan trains is fascinating, and Dianna Rostad has added to our knowledge with this debut novel. My thanks to LibraryThing and the publisher for this ER book. ![]() sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
