ETCHED IN GRANITE SERIES: BOOK FIVE
Boston, 1878. Agnes is released from the Mission and placed out as a scullery maid. When she is accused of a crime, her world crumbles. Risking everything, she flees with a stable boy—hopping trains and making her way back to the County Farm in New Hampshire.

In the crowded train yards, Agnes narrowly misses her mother, Bridget, who is returning to New Hampshire in search of redemption.

Without warning, Agnes is seized by an agent—stripped of her name and reduced to a number. Facing an uncertain future, she is placed on an orphan train, carried through the very woods that would have led her home.

Back at the County Farm, Samuel wrestles with longing and quiet defiance, burdened by his father, Silas, who has fallen deeper into drink and despair. And Sarah—what becomes of her?

Can these souls break free from the shackles of time?

The story continues—revealing long-buried secrets and the enduring weight of social and intergenerational trauma, separation, hope, and resilience.
