Historical fiction is my favorite genre, and this book definitely fit the bill by depicting the unfortunate past era of orphanages, and children left to fend for themselves through no fault of their own. This story is about a well run orphanage where the owners treat the children well. The author did an excellent job of portraying the hard work that went into maintaining a home during the Great Depression, the generosity of the neighbors who also had little, as well as fighting attempts to take their home. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in historical fiction. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.
