Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1) by Sherry A. Burton – Review by Kerry Baker

Discovery by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Discovery by Sherry A Burton is the first book in the Orphan Train Saga. This book is so fascinating and amazingly accurate that you won’t be able to stop yourself from being drawn in.
I love books that, while fiction, are steeped in real life events. And this one has got to be one of the best examples I have ever read. Orphan Trains are one of those things I could vaguely recall hearing about but didn’t really know any details of. This book certainly opened my eyes to the way things actually were. The thought of all those children going through this and how they must have felt really struck a chord with me.
The story was so detailed and vivid it almost felt like I was right there on that very train. The author has such an amazing writing style that suits this type of story perfectly. The characters were so relatable and you connect with them instantly. I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as what I did however it easily fits into the category of one of the best I have read this year. I cannot recommend this book enough!
