The inspiration behind the forthcoming Netflix film<\/p>\n

\u201cThe innocence of childhood collides with the stark aftermath of war in this wrenching and ultimately redemptive tale of family, seemingly impossible choices, and the winding paths to destiny, which sometimes take us to places far beyond our imaginings.\u201d \u2013 Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Before We Were Yours and The Book of Lost Friends<\/p>\n

“Ardone\u2019s beautifully crafted story explores the meaning of identity and belonging…recommended to fans of Elena Ferrante\u2019s Neapolitan novels.”\u00a0\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The Library Journal<\/p>\n

\u201c[The Children\u2019s Train]\u00a0leaves you with a great sense of the importance of family and the tough decisions that must be faced as a result of that love.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Shelf Awareness<\/p>\n

Based on true events, a heartbreaking story of love, family, hope, and survival set in post-World War II Italy\u2014written with the heart of Orphan Train and Before We Were Yours\u2014about poor children from the south sent to live with families in the north to survive deprivation and the harsh winters.<\/p>\n

Though Mussolini and the fascists have been defeated, the war has devastated Italy, especially the south. Seven-year-old Amerigo lives with his mother Antonietta in Naples, surviving on odd jobs and his wits like the rest of the poor in his neighborhood. But one day, Amerigo learns that a train will take him away from the rubble-strewn streets of the city to spend the winter with a family in the north, where he will be safe and have warm clothes and food to eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Together with thousands of other southern children, Amerigo will cross the entire peninsula to a new life. Through his curious, innocent eyes, we see a nation rising from the ashes of war, reborn. As he comes to enjoy his new surroundings and the possibilities for a better future, Amerigo will make the heartbreaking choice to leave his mother and become a member of his adoptive family.<\/p>\n

Amerigo\u2019s journey is a moving story of memory, indelible bonds, artistry, and self-exploration, and a soaring examination of what family can truly mean. Ultimately Amerigo comes to understand that sometimes we must give up everything, even a mother’s love, to find our destiny.<\/p>\n
