About the Book:
Past and Present Collide on the Railway
When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be discovered.
Lily Mae Dodge flees Wyoming by night to find her mother, who sent her
west on an orphan train ten years ago. After she's arrested in Chicago,
help comes from a man with a rare vision impairment whom she only just
met on a train. Francis Basnett is a roustabout for the famous
Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, where he helps Lily gain employment. Their
friendship grows into more, and it seems Lily is closer than ever to
finding her mother. . .until the night a rogue troop train slams into
the stalled circus train, killing dozens and splintering hope.

My Review:
Y'all! I just don't trust this people affiliated with the circus back then. So I'm already on high alert when this Francis Basnett enters the picture. I just feel like he will lead Lily Mae in the wrong direction.
So back in the day shortly after the Civil War era there were traveling circus' that real hired just anyone off the street so Lily was guaranteed a job by this Francis person. But trains were also robbed during this time quite a bit. So Lily finds herself in a precarious situation before she ever gets to her stop.
I'm a girls girl so I'm always cheering girls on. Anytime we can succeed without failing I'm all over it. This series has been phenomenal in that it shows us overcoming so much.
