The Heart Only Grows (Timeless Romance Single, #5)

by Michele Paige Holmes

[phyllish]

The Heart Only Grows is a tender romance about Addie, a young lady caring for the orphans traveling through the Midwest to find homes for orphans, and several of the children under her care.  If you are interested in learning more about the Orphan Train, there is an article about it on Wikipedia.

I was very touched by the plight of Addie and her love for the Daniel, Sarah and Caleb and her willingness to do anything to help them.  Her distress at seeing Caleb sent off with a woman who didn't appear to be kind showed some of the depths of her tender heart.

While the initial meeting of Addie and Miles was humorous, the overall tone of the story was more serious as it dealt with deep heart issues the main characters were dealing with.  I wouldn't consider it a tear-jerker, though, and the tale was full of hope.

I voluntarily received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
