Marianne Neumann is searching for her younger sister, Sophie. Filled
with desperation, Marianne becomes a placing agent with the Children's
Aid Society in hopes of locating her sister. As a placing agent,
Marianne hopes to locate a better life for the orphans, while locating
her sister in the process.
Andrew "Drew" Brady is accompanying Marianne on her first placing trip. He is a former schoolteacher who gets along with the children. However, underneath his charm and beauty, lies a dark secret that continues to torment Drew. The pair finds themselves growing closer until a devastating
accident threatens to break their bond. Will Drew be able to put aside
his feeling of guilt? Will Drew and Marianne be able to move past the
accident?
This historical romance was an enjoyable read. It was an interesting topic about placing orphans from New York City to other small towns. While
the book was good, I found the beginning a bit slow but it picked up
towards the end. The characters were all flawed but they were trying
their best with the cards they were dealt with.

Determined to find her lost younger sister, Marianne Neumann takes a job as a placing agent with the Children’s Aid Society in 1858 New York.

Andrew Brady, her fellow agent on her first placing-out trip, is a former schoolteacher who has an easy way with the children, firm but tender and friendly. Underneath his charm and handsome looks, though, seems to linger a grief that won’t go away–and a secret from his past that he keeps hidden.
As the two team up, placing orphans in the small railroad towns of Illinois, they find themselves growing ever closer . . . until a shocking tragedy threatens to upend all their work and change one of their lives forever.
