This story is about a young girl with a heart condition who winds up on a dangerous adventure when she sets out on her own to find her runaway sister. This is based on Homes that existed around the Great Depression era. These Homes were spread throughout the US and were religious based. Girls were sent there if they were deemed bad by parents or society, as well as, orphans. They were used as free labor and basically treated liked prisoners. That part of the book was interesting. The lead up to the Home was unnecessary and boring. It had the potential to be a remarkable book; I think the author needed a better editor. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
