The Ring - Friendship, Loyalty and Love: Book 2 of The Train Trilogy

By Janet R. Elder

The Ring: Friendship, Loyalty, and Love is the sequel to Placed Out: Children of the Train. It is also the second book of the Train Trilogy, which collectively spans the years 1885 to 1919. The third and final book, Still Life: Then, Now, and Beyond, closes out the absorbing historical fiction saga. The Ring brings forward into the first decade of the 20th century the story of orphan train rider Danny O'Brien. Now living in San Antonio and a young father himself, he grows increasingly curious about the fate of his baby sister. He saw the red-haired, blue-eyed baby only briefly, after their mother died giving birth to her in a New York tenement. She was taken to a foundling home, but that was fifteen years ago. What has become of her? he wonders. Is she still alive? A tragedy in New York that shocks the nation fuels Danny's determination to return to New York to unravel the mystery of the baby sister he saw fleetingly so long ago. Set in Texas and New York, and filled with twists and turns, The Ring chronicles Danny's own continuing story and discloses his sister's surprising fate.
