A powerful blend of history, biography, and adventure, "Orphan Trains" fills a grievous gap in the American story. Tracing the evolution of the Children's Aid Society, this dramatic narrative tells the fascinating tale of the orphan trains, which spirited away some 250,000 abandoned children into the homes of rural families in the Midwest.
