Gratefully Yours

When her family dies in a New York tenement fire in 1933, Hattie is sent on the Orphan Train to Nebraska to live with Henry and Elizabeth Jansen. Yes, Henry needs her help with the farm chores and with Elizabeth, who is still griev- ing for the death of their children. But Hattie knows she is unwanted. Can the Jansens ever love another child? "A blend of Anne of Green Gables and Orphan Train Rider; [readers] who enjoyed either of those will appreciate Hattie's story."
