Martha Drusso, heartbroken that her childhood sweetheart Charlie had left for another woman, worked as an assistant in a Salvation Army mission in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the Depression. She took under her wing an abandonned boy R.C. and a baby girl Belle. When Martha returned home to Texas for her mother's funeral, R.C. decided to follow her and, by mistake, put Belle on the wrong train...

Beautifully written, with several intriguing subplots and staged with the historic backdrop of the Depression, WW2, Desegregation and so forth, this is an engaging tale.
