The Orphans on the Train

Historical Fiction, War Fiction

A war is coming. A train is leaving. Two girls cling to hope as their lives unravel across a continent.

In 1939, Kirsty boards a train bound for Hungary, leaving behind the safety of home to teach Jewish children in a world already shifting toward darkness. She doesn’t expect to find a friend like Anna, a student with a fierce spirit and a quiet strength.

When Budapest falls under Nazi occupation, survival becomes a desperate game. As the girls are forced apart, Kirsty’s mission shifts from teaching to protecting, from hope to endurance.

Inspired by true events, The Orphans on the Train is a haunting story of friendship, sacrifice, and the ties that refuse to break, even in the face of war.

Can love and loyalty find a way through the wreckage?
