Resumen del Editor

Unable to have children, spinster, Clementine Crowell, has immersed herself in the noble calling of placing street orphans in happy homes. After ten years riding the rails as an agent for the Gotham Foundling Asylum Society, Clementine is disheartened by evidence that many of the children she’s helped place are little more than slave labor. On a stopover in Nebraska, she’s pushed over the edge when farmers, Rollie Everhart and Boyd Hammond, get into a fistfight over who will get the older, stronger boy. Rollie came for an orphan boy to help him work his beleaguered farm. He needs help, not only in caring for his four-year-old daughter, but in caring about the life God has handed him. He’s lost his wife, his dreams, and his heart for working his farm. The tall, stern Miss Crowell had no business wading into the fight and getting injured in the process. Now he has two choices: adopt the skinny twins looking for a home, or anger the already angry and injured Clementine Crowell. Her arm may be broken, but her tongue still works and she’s blaming him for everything from Adam’s first bite, to the punch that knocked her down. Derailed by her injuries, Clementine needs a family, and Rollie has more family than he can handle. Both will fight to get what they want, but who will win in this battle of wills? Lonesome Whistle will make you laugh and make you cry, and keep you turning pages for the most deserved happily-ever-after ending of the century, the 19th Century, that is!
