A fictional story based on one of the great efforts in this country to place thousands of orphaned children from the streets of New York city.
Heavy on religion with a glowing but not necessary truthful account of the fate of some of the orphans.
I did not particularly enjoy this book as I felt the authors were trying to force their religious beliefs on the reader. One of the few books I have ever put aside and then came back to finish at a later date.
