In 1859\, when her husband dies and her children become wards of a predator\, Martha—bereaved and scared—flees their beloved country home taking the children with her to the squalor of New York City. But as a naive woman alone\, preyed on by male employers\, she soon finds herself nearly destitute. The Home for the Friendless offers free food\, clothing\, and schooling to New York’s street kids and Martha secures a place temporarily for her children there. When she returns for them\, she discovers that the Society has indentured her two eldest out to work via the Orphan Train\, and has placed her two youngest for adoption. The Society refusing to help and with the Civil War erupting around her\, Martha sets out to reclaim each of them. \nTo schedule a book club visit with Julia or any of our authors on NovelNetwork: \n\n\nConnect with this Author on NovelNetwork®\n\n\n  \n \nBerkeley and Oxford-educated anthropologist Susannah Kennedy was born in India before returning to the US.

Daring to “read” Jane is like unlatching Pandora’s Box and Susannah finds herself on a riveting detective journey.
