Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1)
By: Sherry A. Burton
5 out of 5 stars

The story Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1) by Sherry A. Burton is a historical fiction book. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself lost in a book that is both interesting and emotional. The story takes you back to a time when some in society were not sympathetic to the plight of orphans and when it seems that those orphans were considered disposable, unwanted, and unloved. This book brought tears to my eyes and I found myself thinking about it long after I had finished the last page. It is a story that touched both my heart and soul. I enjoyed reading about Cindy Moore. She thinks that she is tying up some loose ends regarding her grandmother’s estate. What she finds instead are secrets and discoveries that she never expected. She uncovers her grandmother’s past as part of the Orphan Trains and the details of her grandmother’s life. This is a story that is hard to put down until you finish the last page. I highly recommend reading it.
