The Wilson Sisters: Echoes in the Orphanage-A Missouri River Orphans Series (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385080076)

In the summer of 1919, a family is quietly torn apart. A sickly father can no longer work and a mother at the end of her strength makes a desperate decision-leaving her three youngest daughters at an orphanage, believing it will only be temporary. Ruby, Helen, and little Alice wait behind orphanage walls as days turn into months, learning to endure strict rules, loneliness, and the ache of being forgotten. Through whispered prayers, shared books, and an unbreakable sisterly bond, the girls cling to hope and to one another. Meanwhile, their older siblings are sent to live with an older sister, unaware of where the three youngest have gone-or even that they are missing. When the truth is finally discovered, a determined search begins, fueled by faith and the refusal to let family be lost. Based on a true story, this historical novel captures the small moments that shape a life and the quiet courage of women who fight for those they love. Set in early twentieth-century Missouri, it is a story of hardship, resilience, forgiveness, and the steady presence of God-even in seasons of waiting. This is a story for anyone who has wondered whether they were forgotten-and discovered they never were.
