the actual life of my mother, her adoption and eventual return to
visit her real family during the 1920's and 30's, it is a fictional
story that includes information, places and some speculation as to

without being married, and when this situation happened in Dottie's
grandmother's household, it brought about events that would shape
Dottie's life forever. Touching the lives of many people along the
way, Dottie would be sent halfway across the country as a Train
Child from New York City to the farmlands of Iowa. Follow along on
this twisting train ride as Dottie travels and grows into the young
women who completes a circle that answers many of the questions her
adoption left with her.
