From the Publisher: Marianne, heading west with fourteen other children on an Orphan Train, is sure her mother will show up at one of the stations along the way. When her mother left Marianne at the orphanage, hadn't she promised she'd come for her after making a new life in the West? Stop after stop goes by, and there's no sign of her mother in the crowds that come to look over the children. No one shows any interest in adopting shy, plain Marianne, either. But that's all right: She has to be free for her mother to claim her. Then the train pulls into its final stop, a town called Somewhere . . . |

Praise
Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Ronald Himler's watercolor and gouache illustrations are not only wonderfully evocative of another time but are emotionally affecting without being sentimental." - Michael Cart 05/26/1996 Kirkus Reviews
"Himler's lovely watercolor and gouache paintings express both the loneliness and hope of the children in scene after scene of the rugged new country. A reminder that the good old days were not so idyllic; this book will have a place in the history curriculum, but it's also an involving read-aloud." 01/01/1996 Five Owls
"As in her Caldecott-winning book 'Smokey Night', Bunting reports without judging, ending her central story on a bright note, but leaving readers to think about the implications for others who weren't as lucky." - Wendy E. Betts May/June 1996
