About this listen

Bridget Collins is in dire straits - she needs to get out of New York, fast. With two young siblings under her wing, her options are limited.

Her priest sends her as an outplacement agent on the orphan trains that run from New York to out west. With almost 40 orphans under her care, she's relieved that fellow and more experienced outplacement agent Carl Watson is there to guide her. But Carl is dealing with his own trauma and finds it difficult to handle the pain the orphans are dealing with.

Through tears and laughter, everyone on the orphan train has a lesson to teach about love, life, and loyalty. And Bridget finds a new, unexpected calling. Every child deserves a happy home and Bridget is determined to do whatever it takes to ensure that happens. No matter what the cost....

What a great story, I was totally griped by the event's that unfolded, and the way everything gradually came to a perfect ending 😆

Brilliant

the story was pretty good, with nice wholesome characters. a gentle listen with no surprises, very predictable. BUT the narration was awful, the lady spoke so fast that I turned my listening speed right down, which made it sound like a record on a turntable at the wrong setting! I did persevere😣but only because I'm stubborn and hate giving up on things. not sure if I would recommend, maybe as a freebie.

poor narration
