Girl from Tomorrow’s Town by Naomi Musch

Rating:  5 star rating

I just finished reading The Girl from Tomorrow’s Town by Naomi Musch, and I loved it so much.  It’s a sweet historical romance about a girl named Lily who was sent away on an orphan train when she was little.  She lived with a family in Wyoming for over 10 years, but she never felt like she belonged, and the family was not very good to her, so she finally runs away to find her real mom.  

Shortly after getting on the train in Wyoming, she meets Francis "Frank" Basnett, and they become traveling companions.  When they get to Chicago, the police catch up to her because her adoptive mother tried to charge her with stealing money. Frank sticks right by her side through the whole mess.  Luckily, Lily clears her name by explaining that she secretly made all that money doing sewing work on the side, and they prove she is telling the truth.  

After they part ways, they meet up again later when Frank helps her get a sewing job at the traveling circus where he works.  Frank is a really nice guy, but he is secretly losing his eyesight. They grow really close, but a disaster strikes when a troop train crashes into their circus train, leaving everyone fighting to survive. The story is a beautiful, emotionally moving journey that tests their relationship and their trust in the future.  

This is a wonderful, clean historical fiction novel about resilience, romance, and discovering what it truly means to find your family. I highly recommend picking this book up, if you want a nice clean historical romance.

Thank you, NetGalley, Barbour Publishing, and the author Naomi Musch for the book review consideration.  All opinions are my own.
