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?

Review: Searching for You is book 3 in the Orphan Train series. While it is as well written as the others, it was the one that took me longer to finish and the one I liked less.
This was probably due to the fact that previously I have seen Reinhold love and be about to marry each of Sophie's older sisters in turn. So when he takes one look at Sophie and becomes immediately enamored - well, it was just more of the same and a bit over the top for me. It took me a while to overcome that mistrust and believe that what he felt for Sophie this time was real.
Sophie isn't the easiest character to love either - she's too impulsive and inconstant, and always keen on running away rather than staying and face her problems, even if she has a good heart.
Searching for you it's still a good book, but (1) it's not as good as the previous ones and (2) while it's not absolutely necessary that you read the others, I recommend you to (especially because those are really, really great stories).
Happy readings,
