Because of their arrival, touching and moving stories happened along the railway.

Reader comments
A strong mother, after her children's father was wrongfully imprisoned, had to face a completely unfamiliar environment and life with her children. Although she no longer had the original graceful life, she led her children with kindness, strength and persistence, and finally the father returned as he wished. There is no decadence due to sudden changes in life in the whole article, only the courage to face life optimistically. The author's description of the scenery is also very fascinating. People are kind, and the best is like water!
This book moved me very much, especially when I saw the mother trying to maintain the warmth of the family in difficult circumstances, and the children could also remain optimistic. I like the way the book describes their life by the railway, which is full of adventure and fun. The author Nesbitt is really great, her words make me feel full of positive energy! This is a classic worth reading.
