We met at Sarah’s home in November 2025 to discuss her book, “The Orphan Collector”.
The story is set in 1918 in Philadelphia during the Spanish Flu pandemic. Pia is a 13 year old who leaves her twin brothers in search of food and they are taken by Bernice a grief stricken neighbor who has lost her child. Pia is sent to an orphanage where she then begins a quest to find her brothers. Bernice in the meantime has made it her mission to collect immigrant orphans and transform them into true Americans.
All ends well as Pia is able to expose Bernice and is reunited happily with her brothers
Sarah had a great supper and good wine. Carol chose a book called, “Before She Was Helen” by Carolyn B. Cooney.
