Loved the story and the character portrayal.

A sweet simple story that warms the heart.

I didn't know anything about this chapter of our history, which made this book interesting. The writing style is, by turns, juvenile and brilliant, which makes it seem as though it was written by two different people. The dialogue is cringe worthy, but the descriptions of the life of this one particular orphan are engaging.

This book honestly could not have been more predictable if it tried. However it was still am enjoyable story. If I hadn't lost my kindle for a week while reading it I could have finished it In a day.

Disappointing ending and ended quickly after building such a great story.

[Linda Butler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yes, it is predictable. I knew nothing about this part of history. Well worth reading.

Predictable, but I wanted an easy comfortable read. It delivered that.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, out of the blue I read this wonderful book. It kept me riveted for 2 days. I devoured it. Oh these great books are few and far between. It was a treat for my mind and my senses.
