An Orphan's Choice

When a deadline threatens everything they've built, one small community must decide what truly matters.

Hope House has always operated on a shoestring budget, but when a fire marshal delivers an impossible ultimatum—install a costly fire escape within thirty days or close forever—Lauren Greenwood faces her greatest challenge yet. With ten children depending on her and three more arriving from a mining accident, failure isn't an option.

As autumn leaves fall across rural Virginia in 1936, unexpected allies emerge from the shadows. A shopkeeper with a hidden past finds healing through two special children, a troubled boy discovers his mechanical genius in a forgotten garage. And two young orphans embark on a dangerous adventure that might just save everything.

Through harvest festivals, community prejudices, and the quiet rekindling of dormant romances, An Orphan's Choice weaves a tapestry of lives interconnected by love, loss, and the fierce determination to protect what matters most. Return to Delgany in this heartwarming second installment of the Orphanage Chronicles, where faith is tested, community is redefined, and hope refuses to be extinguished.
