Orphan Train Escape is the story of Bridget Collins who is going through a rough time right now. She has two young siblings under her wing and she needs to get out of New York, but her options are limited. She gets the opportunity when a priest sends her as an outplacement agent on the orphan train that runs from New York out west. She works alongside Carl Watson with almost forty orphans under their care. The orphans are all dealing with their own pain, as is Carl, and through helping them – Bridges finds a new calling in life to help these children find happy homes.

Wesson also wrote A Baby on the Doorstep. This book takes place in 1934 in Virginia when Lauren is running an orphanage during the Great Depression. Every day is a struggle to feed the children during this time, but the kids are never short on love. A baby arrives on the doorstep one day with a note from the parents who promise to return for her, but Lauren decides to give the child all the love that it deserves. The Depression is harsh though and the debt collectors are knocking at her door with threats of shutting the whole thing down.
