Lost

by Bonnie Turner

The train ride was going to be the first trip the twins had ever taken. Tilley and Faith Hall had just met their absentee father, Tillis Grasdon a few weeks before, now they are going live with him and his mother, Agnes Grasdon. They have their new clothes in new suitcases, for their life of extreme poverty had never afforded them anything new until now. With promises of the finest schools and a better life in Roanoke, Virginia they leave their mother, Marcie Hall and Wilmington N.C. behind them. Nervous and excited they realize their father is drinking this early in the morning, and he sleeps most of the day all the way to Bedford Virginia. Tilley finally awakens him, begging to take Faith to the dinning car for they both are so hunger. From the passenger car to the dinning car is only about a hundred yards, but somewhere along the way the girls vanish. Lost in the woods of rural Virginia in 1875, two eight year old girls learn the art of survival and who not to trust.

4.5 stars- I am so honored to have received a free audiobook of the story from the author in exchange for an honest review. Lost had me hooked from beginning to end and I truly loved the story. Faith and Tilley go through so much and it was so inspiring to see how the girls always stick by each other through the good and the bad times. Overall, I highly recommend listening to this book and I am so excited to listen to the sequel next!
