As The Orphan Train Saga continues, Cindy and her mother continue to uncover the secrets in the journals that are hidden in her grandmother’s attic. The story resumes in 1914, as young Tobias is forced onto the streets of New York City. Like so many other orphans of the era, he learns to lie, cheat, and steal just to survive. Armed with a silver tongue and his wits, Tobias soon finds himself … himself headed west on one of the orphan trains. When that placement doesn’t work, Tobias is returned to NYC and back on the streets he once called home. Slightly older and much wiser, Tobias thrives in his new setting. That is, until he becomes obsessed with Mileta and finds himself on yet another orphan train headed west and adopted into the infamous Purple Gang Society.
Will this gang, with its emphasis on criminal activity at any cost, claim what is left of the young man’s soul?

This is the second book in this series that I enjoyed just as much as the first. This is a continuation from the first book, I highly recommend reading in order. In this book, Cindy and her mother continue to find secrets hidden in her grandmother’s journals. We get to see Tobias journey and his struggles. I felt for him as he did what he needed to do to survive. I had a hard time putting this book down, I needed to see what was going to happen at the end. I highly recommend this book.
I read the first book in The Orphan Train Saga series, Discovery” after purchasing a download. I have since purchased both first and second books in the series at an author signing. Once I read Discovery, I needed to read Shameless, to continue the story. These books take you back in time and suck you into the events of the time and how people survived them. I loved the journey and can not wait for the next book. Historical fiction mixed with facts bring life to each of the stories.
I loved this book. I found it hard to put down. But I finally finished it. And I recommend for people to purchase this book. Cant wait for the next book!
Great sequel to Book One (Discovery). What a page turner, just couldn’t put it down. I’m so thrilled that the author will dedicate each book in the saga to a different character, this one being Tobias’ story. I’ve learned so much already about the orphan train era and what these children went through to try and find good homes. I so enjoy reading true historical books. Inspiring book to say the least. Looking forward to reading Book Three of the Orphan Train Saga.
I received an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I did not want to stop reading about Tobias at all. I needed to find out more about him. Sherry did an excellent job in keeping me wanting more. I am so excited to keep reading more on this series. From such a young age the lad had to endure things that we would never think of. I want more. HAPPY READING
