Searching for You (Orphan Train #3) by Jody Hedlund

Despite years on the run, Sophie Neumann is determined to care for two young children. She won't abandon them the way she thinks her older sisters abandoned her. But times are growing desperate, and when she falls in with the wrong crowd and witnesses a crime, she realizes fleeing 1850s New York is her only option.

Disappearing with her two young charges into a group of orphans heading west by train, Sophie hopes to find safety and a happy life. When the train stops in Illinois for the first placement of orphans, Sophie faces the most difficult choice of her life.

Reinhold Weiss has finally purchased his own small farm. With mounting debts, a harvest to bring in, and past scars that haunt him, he's in no position to give his heart away . . . but can he say no when his long-lost friend shows up on a nearby train pleading for his help?

My Review

I have been looking forward to this book for so long, and it sure didn’t disappoint. Now it can be read alone, but I would definitely start with the first one and savor each one, they are so good!
This is Sophie Neumann’s story her survival and hopes for a secure home, and you will follow her and the two little ones as she makes another attempt at finding a home.
We are also back with some of the other characters that we have come to know and love, and there are some great up-dates, I know this is the last book in this series, but I would love to continue on in their lives.
Come and get lost in another great read and a conclusion to a great series.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
