Arletta Richardson
It's 1907 in Pennsylvania, and eight-year-old Ethan Cooper
is determined to keep him and his younger siblings together as they are
sent to a Christian orphanage. Although they have plenty to eat and to
do, Ethan fears losing everything. How can he trust God to keep them
safe?
With his mother dead, his father gone, and his older brothers
and sisters unable to help, eight-year-old Ethan Cooper knows it's his
responsibility to keep him and his younger siblings together-even if
that means going to an orphanage.
Ethan, Alice, Simon, and Will settle into the Briarlane
Christian Children's Home, where there's plenty to eat, plenty of work,
and plenty of talk about a Father who never leaves. Even so, Ethan fears
losing the only family he has. How can he trust God to keep him safe
when almost everything he's known has disappeared?
The first book in the Beyond the Orphan Train series, Looking for Home takes us back to 1907 Pennsylvania and into the real-life adventures of four children in search of a true home.
