ORPHAN TRAIN

On the harrowing train ride from the slums and tenements of New York City to the wide-open farmland of Michigan, Allie Pierce and Delaney Marsh formed a bond that no one could break. Traveling to find a new life of opportunity and adventure in the heartland, the two orphans uncovered their hearts’ only desire. From childhood to adulthood, their friendship grew into something neither had planned or expected. For without Allie, Delaney was nothing more than a street tough, striving to prove his mettle. And without Delaney, Allie was little more than a sad wisp of a girl, frightened and alone. But together, the two would be able to carve opportunity from misfortune, understanding from discord, and ultimately find a passion that would last a lifetime.
