The book explores the historical context of orphan trains, which transported over 200,000 orphaned or abandoned children from 1854 to 1930, while weaving in the personal narrative of Lee Nailling, who journeyed to Texas on one of these trains in 1926. Through alternating chapters, it highlights the experiences of these children and the impact of the orphan train movement, complemented by photographs that enhance the storytelling.
