The year is 1907. Haunted by memories before the adoption as well as the happy reminiscences of life with her new family, Kaitlyn O'Connel (Katy) accepts a job as a rail rider for the Orphan Train. As one of the lucky ones who managed to find a family, helping orphaned children find loving homes is a task close to Katy's heart. Though Katy had been lucky enough to start a new life, the loneliness of being an orphan had never really went away. Apart from her charges, Katy felt had no one to share her life.
Bound by Hope is both an inspiring and heart breaking story. Many of the children on the real Orphan Trains were lucky enough to find loving families. Others were taken advantage of and were abused by those individuals who were supposed to ease their pain, suffering, and loneliness. This book shares the stories of both endings while exploring a different kind of love story in which the heroine's passion and love for children that the world had abandoned is foremost and the romance action is secondary.

I liked this book, but it was easy for me to put down.
