Home Is Where the Heart Is — Barbara Dan

The heart-warming story of how five totally unrelated individuals became a family in Wyoming Territory, 1873. Rancher Sam Gallagher advertises in a newspaper back east for a housekeeper. Being adventurous, Meg Wolverton (aka 'Miss Wolfie' by the homeless waifs she accompanies West on the Orphan Train) gladly accepts the position. The Orphan Train stops at every whistle-stop along the way, hopefully matching up these rambunctious orphans with suitable families. Alas, a few manage to slip through the cracks. To be specific, three children still need homes, as Meg discovers upon arriving in Cheyenne. On top of that, her new employer is late meeting the train. Will he show up? Will she lose her job and wind up destitute, with three unadoptable orphans to support? Or does God have a better plan?.
