This whole sermon talk about "human works" makes no goddamn sense. Maybe because I wasn't raised Christian but this whole convo is so useless in this book. Why are we talking about this? Just say there's a lot of coal, praised be to God or whatever not have half a page dedicated to saying yay to sacrificing Jesus.

It is blatantly lazy in it's proselytizing, the dialogue is hammy and unrealistic. The writing is very bland. I thought this would be more interesting since The Orphan Train was a real thing. It's definitely trying to put a plastic sheen on everything about it

I love my grandma but she was blessed with the taste of a Christian Boomer. Once in a while I'll get a Debbie Macomber or Nora Roberts book from her, and I'll read them and feel alright about them. But she also has given me some very mediocre and kitschy Christian fiction. I think this honestly is one of the most badly written book I've come across from the beginning.
