Summary: This story is about fourteen children who are headed West on an orphan train. One of the orphans, Marianne, is expecting to find her mother, who told her she was heading West and would come back for her. But stop after stop, there is no sign of her mother. No one shows interest in plain, shy Marianne either until the final stop, a place called Somewhere.
