- Red Apple Reader: Superbly written. Can’t wait for the next installment in this series. I must preorder. It’s THAT good.

- Faye: A great introduction to the characters of this brand new series. I loved reading Christine and Guy’s story.
- Rachel Rittenhouse: I can never go wrong with Jody Hedlund! Her books never cease to grab me, connect me with the characters, and move me. I also love novellas which set up the coming series. This one was perfect because it set up the primary characters of the series, while also giving the reader some of the backstory of some of the secondary characters.
- Toypoodlelover: Author Jody Hedlund’s style of writing seems so effortless. The story flows freely and draws the reader in with such real-life characters. Since this is a novella it is a quick-read and will whet your appetite for the upcoming Orphan Train series.
