Together Forever -- Jody Hedlund

Marianne Neumann has one goal in life: to find her lost younger sister, Sophie. When Marianne takes a job as a placing agent with the Children's Aid Society in 1858 New York, she not only hopes to give children a better life but seeks to discover whether Sophie ended up leaving the city on an orphan train.<br/><br/>Andrew Brady, her fellow agent on her first placing trip, is a former schoolteacher who has an easy way with the children--firm but tender and funny. Underneath his handsome charm, 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 amid small railroad towns in Illinois, they find themselves growing ever closer . . . until a shocking tragedy threatens to upend all their work and change one of their lives forever.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jody Hedlund<br><b>Publisher:</b> Bethany House Publishers<br><b>Published:</b> 05/01/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.60w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780764218057<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Booklist</i> 04/15/2018 pg. 25<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 05/28/2018<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Jody Hedlund</b> is the author of over a dozen novels, including<i> With You Always</i>, <i> Love Unexpected</i>, <i> Unending Devotion</i>, <i>The Preacher's Bride</i>, and <i>A Noble Groom</i>, and winner of the 2014 Carol Award for historical romance.
