The heroines of The Journey Home return in the continuing saga of orphans Maggie and Annie Lavin. It's been three years since the girls were taken in by the Russells to live on their farm in Kansas.

Customer Reviews

An intersting book all around!

This book was rather easy to read, but it was very interesting nonetheless. The characters were believable, and so were their problems. The story has one really good turn that adds a lot of excitement to the story line. I would say that it's a great book for a rainy day.
