Wyoming 1874. Mary, Johnny, and Lizzie Marston-along with sixty other children-line the platform at the Cheyenne train station as Dan and Clara Forbes and other locals contemplate taking one child home to a new life. Will they be separated? Will they be wanted? Will the West offer a better life than the one they left behind-or worse?
