Product Description
Book Description
Between 1854 and 1904, nearly one hundred thousand orphans were transported by train across America to new homes in the Midwest. Based on the courageous children who experienced this historic event, this series follows the lives of several girls who ride the train in search of fresh beginnings and loving families.
Kit, abandoned by her widowed father, is taken in by a farm family who wants a girl to help the weary mother of five boys. Kit rises above her situation by excelling in her schoolwork. But will she ever realize her secret longings to love and be loved?
This Orphan Train West series, previously published for an adult audience (over 161,000 copies sold), has been abridged for girls ages 1014.
