What could make a boy run away?

... from everything he knows.

From his mother. His home. And all those things he doesn't yet understand.

Every evening Jayrod sits on his back porch and listens to the train rumble through the woods beyond the field. Beyond the boundary set by his father. It sounds like freedom. Like adventure. He's too young to know the dangers that lurk aboard freight trains. In the boxcars and on the flats. The bad men. It's no place for a boy.

The man calls himself Farley. He's an odd man. Mysterious. Deadly. Is he protecting the boy or using him? And will Jayrod figure it out in time to find his way home again?

The Night Train pulls back the curtain to expose a silent epidemic as old as time itself. There is no cure ... only awareness.

You'll love Jayrod because he's a fighter, even when he doesn't know there's a war. His innocent determination will make you cry. Laugh. And cheer.

Meet him now.
