SURVIVING CHILDHOOD IN AMERICA – A STORY 

Children are resilient and adapt to almost anything life throws at them. With a dying mother, four children survived a cross-country trek from Los Angeles to Chicago to Las Vegas to San Francisco Bay to Madison, Wisconsin. Ian, the eldest, eventually found out what really happened. 

Excerpt: “He looked out and saw several tracks converging in the darkness in front of them. Ian and his siblings were anxious to get out of the confinement of the train, to run free, to return home. But the train was completely stopped, unmoved by the collective will of the children.”
