United by blood, divided by time, will three orphan train siblings ever find one another again?
Orphaned in a tenement fire, three Irish-immigrant children are sent to Missouri to be adopted. Despite eight-year-old Maelle’s desperate attempts to keep her siblings together, each child is taken by a different family. Yet Maelle vows that she will never stop searching for her brother and sister…and that they will be together one day in the future.
Seventeen years later, Maelle is still searching. But the years have washed away her hope… and her memories. What are Mattie and Molly doing now? Where has life taken them? Will she ever see her brother and sister again?

Simply perfection! What a delightful story, as the three siblings make their way toward the reunion they have long dreamed of accomplishing. Maelle was my favorite but not by a long shot, because Matt and Isabelle (Molly) were great in their own right (plus, who can resist Petey?) If you're looking for beautifully-written fiction from a strong Christian standpoint (definitely preaches the gospel) and with a romantic-focus value of nearly 0, grab it immediately and dive in!
I loved every moment, even the sad ones, and you may very well need a box of tissues handy. Easily a favorite of the books I've read this year.
