More Than Meets The Eye by Karen Witemeyer is a historical romance novel that focuses on a makeshift family. The books starts with the characters as children on the orphan train. I found this really interesting because this is the second book that I have read recently where the characters were sent out on the orphan train and I have always found this to be so fascinating. When an accident happens on the train, a promise is made that turns the remaining children into family.
Evangeline is an interesting character because she has two differently colored eyes. Because of this, she has been ostracized for most of her life. Only her "brothers" really accept her for who she is, that is until Zach comes along. Unfortunately, Zach has arrived to settle a grudge against Evangeline's brother.
This was a very sweet and touching story. It is about growth, friendship and the love of family even if that family is not formed by love. I enjoyed the time period in which this was set and the overall plot line which was really intriguing.
I received a copy of this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.
