Читать книгу Orphan Train Sweetheart - Mollie Campbell - Страница 8

Dear Reader,

I hope you enjoyed Cecilia’s story. Of all the Holbrook sisters, her struggles are closest to my own, so writing about her journey was a challenge! I pray that the things she and Simon learned are an encouragement to you like they have been to me.

I’ve had a fascination with the orphan train for a long time, so getting to write this story was a thrill for me. Starting in 1854, thousands of children were “placed out” to foster families through the orphan train. It wasn’t a perfect system, but it offered a solution for many children who were alone on the streets. It was fun to take real accounts of children who rode the orphan train and work them into Cecilia and Simon’s story.

Thank you for reading! You can find me on Facebook as Mollie Campbell and on Twitter as @MollieACampbell.
