Nine-year-old Ethan Cooper has managed to keep his family
together for a year in a Pennsylvania orphanage. Now he and his siblings
are boarding a train headed west. He can't help but worry: Mr. and Mrs.
Rush in Nebraska have agreed to adopt all four Cooper children, but
what if they change their minds?
In the meantime, Ethan and his siblings encounter their first
dust storm, explore train cars, and watch friend after friend leave with
new parents. The children dream that soon they will have a new ma and
pa too.
Based on the story of a real family, this second book in the
historical Beyond the Orphan Train series reminds us that God never
leaves us, no matter how far we journey to find home.
