Searching For You is the latest tale from Jody Hedlund. Sophie Neumann is still living, by her wits, on the mean streets of New York City. After Sophie gets too close to a local gang, she decides she must flee the city when she actually witnesses a murder. Before she knows it, Sophie, along with Olivia and Nicholas, the two young children, she has raised since birth, are on a train full of orphans headed out west to find a new place to call home!
Sophie and these young children wind up in a farming community in rural Illinois. After the young children are placed with a local family, Sophie ends up heading out with the wife of a dairy farmer. Sophie, not only finds a home filled with love and friendship, she also runs into Reinhold Weiss, an old friend from the streets of New York City. Reinhold has recently purchased a small farm in the vicinity of Sophie's new home. Sophie is now surrounded by friends old and new; however, she is still running from her two older sisters, Elsie and Maryanne. Sophie is too embarrassed for them to see what has became of her life!
When Sophie learns that the children are being abused, she convinces Reinhold to marry her, so that they could attempt to adopt the children themselves. You will see on the final pages of this tale where Sophie will finally land. Will it be with this new family or will Sophie finally be reunited with her sisters?
This is a great ending to Jody Hedlund's Orphan Train series.
