'Dreams of a Longing Heart' is Kit's story--the sustaining power of faith. After her grieving, widowed father leaves Kit, her younger brother and baby sister at Greystone, she tries futilely to keep the family together. Yet the younger children are 'placed out' and Kit is sent West on the Orphan Train.
This is a great book, of the four books in the series I think this is my favourite. Kit has the hardest life out of the girls but finds true happiness in the end. This book always gives me a lump in my throught.
great story!
