I believe in ghosts. They're the ones who haunt us, the ones who have left us behind. Many times in my life I have felt them around me, observing, witnessing, when no one in the living world knew or cared what happened.
Orphan Train

I stayed up last night to finish this novel because I simply had to know how it was all going to come together. The themes of unexpected friendship, second chances, truth and resilience resonated with me even as I took some issue with the stereotypical characters and simple prose. I think it read like YA historical fiction. I know in a few years Lily will love it, or perhaps I'll read it to her aloud now and edit the few dicey parts along the way. You should read it too.
