A childhood promise! A lost boy! The Orphan Train! A life on hold!Obsessed By A Promise, a work of historical fiction, offers a fascinating glimpse into a little known event in American history; the Orphan Train movement. JT Saunders grew up homeless on the streets of New York City at the onset of the Great Depression. Through perseverance and hard work he gained money and prestige, married and had a son, yet it all meant little to him because, as an eleven-year old, he had promised his father he'd keep his little brother safe. He failed. From then on, the compulsion to find his lost brother and rectify what he perceived as his personal negligence permeated his existence. After years of searching the streets of New York, the discovery of the Orphan Trains opened the possibility that his little brother wasn't in the city at all, and changed the course of JT's search from city-wide to country-wide. Fifty years would pass before JT finds resolution allowing him to finally let go of his obsession.
