Come join Sophie Neumann, the youngest sister in the Orphan Train series, and see her journey of healing as she grows into the person God wants her to be!
We begin with a hurt and hardened Sophie, who not only feels abandoned by her older sisters, but who is worn out from trying so hard to care for Olivia and Nicholas. Though she's not related to these children, they were orphaned from infancy, and Sophie has cared for them and has been the only mother they've ever known. But she's had to resort to stealing and sneaking for so long, and her heart has grown hard as she's grown into womanhood standing all alone.
Reinhold has already been rejected by Sophie's two older sisters in marriage. Poor guy! He's got a great heart and he's an incredibly hard worker, trying so hard to make his farm profitable with very little help. He's got a streak of anger within him, passed on from his very ungodly father, and he struggles with his emotions.
Sophie and Reinhold knew each other when they were younger, and they meet unexpectedly. Will love have a chance to develop? Can they each grow past their own brokenness and learn to let others in? Can Sophie forgive her sisters for allowing her to be on her own?
This is a wonderful journey of two hearts finding restoration in God!
“When we're finally willing to let go of the messes we've made, the good Lord can step in and salvage the scraps.”
“We're human. We break things. It's what we do with the brokenness that counts.”
“Could she let go of attempting to make the repairs her own way and finally hand the mess over to the One waiting to forgive her and repair her life in His way?”
“All her striving had amounted to more messes and brokenness. When she'd finally stopped trying to fix everything, God had stepped in and started to piece things back together in His way-a way that was completely unexpected and better than anything she could have accomplished on her own.”
