More about me

I always lived on the far North side of Chicago. My daughter Alissa lives in Chicago and my other daughter, Meris, lives in New York City. In 2004 I moved to Hatfield, Wisconsin. My house is against woods and a pond. I have deer come to my feeder throughout the day. I have had as many as 31 at one time.

 

When I arrived in Hatfield, population 50, I completed my Orphan Train Trilogy; Wildflowers, Bridie's Daughter & Secrets. Not many people in the U.S. know the history of the orphan trains. Between 1854 and 1929 over 200,000 homeless children left New York City to find new homes in the West and Southwest. Towns were notified in advance when an orphan train was coming so those who waned to adopt could meet the train to see if there was a child that suited them.

My trilogy is an emotional story about families and friendship, tragedy, romance, murder and intrigue and an abundance of humor. It explains how adoption improved the lives of the adults as well as the children.

All book reviews awarded my trilogy Five Stars and all three novels were Finalists in national/international contests. For more information - www.robertnoonannovels.com
