Description
Nine-year-old Ethan Cooper has managed to keep his family together for a year in an orphanage. Now he and his siblings are boarding a train headed west, bound for Nebraska. As they journey through the unknown, Ethan worries about their future with Mr. and Mrs. Rush, who have agreed to adopt all four children. The children face many challenges on their journey, including dust storms and saying goodbye to friends who leave with new parents. Despite these difficulties, Ethan and his siblings hold onto hope for a brighter future with their new adoptive family. Based on the story of a real family, this book reminds us that God never leaves us, no matter how far we journey to find home. This second book in the Beyond the Orphan Train series is a heartwarming tale of resilience and faith, set against the backdrop of America's 20th-century history.
