Quest for Lasting Love

It is the spring of 1890.Three eight-year-old girls leave overcrowded, bleak Greystone orphanage near Boston and set out together on the "Orphan Train" heading West to adoptive homes. Along the way, the little girls - shy, delicate Laurel, vivacious, mischievous Toddy, and kind, scholarly Kit - make a vow to be "forever friends". At journey's end, they go to live with separate families in the town of Meadowridge. As the years go by, each of the girls encounters challenges and discovers love as she pursues her dream of a home of their own.

Quest for Lasting Love is Laurel's story - the healing power of love. Dainty, beautiful Laurel is placed at Greystone when her loving, gravely ill mother enters a sanitarium. Laurel is adopted from the Orphan Train by Dr. and Mrs. Woodward, who still grieve for their daughter they lost only two years before. She brings a breath of fresh air - and much love - into the Woodward's troubled marriage. As she enters her adult years, however, bittersweet memories compel Laurel to find her true identity. Her search leads her to Boston, where she solves the mystery of her past. A new dilemma arises when Laurel must choose between a struggling, talented young musician and her longtime sweetheart.
