"You asked about anything interesting," Kelly writes to David. "Well, there's plenty going on around here."

For Kelly, some of what's going on is puzzling, like the mysterious flights being made by an odd little plane called a Wren. And some things are frightening, like the criminal Marielitos whom her friend Ron won't even discuss. She hadn't wanted to move to New Jersey, anyway, and now she is beginning to wonder whether God really loves her. Why did He have to take her away from David? And how is He ever going to work all this out?

In 1934, during the midst of the Great Depression, millions of people were unemployed and homeless across the United States. During these hard times, it's no surprise that the country was overrun with dangerous bank robbers like John Dillinger. While the Depression had forced Hildy Corrigan's family to move to California in hopes of finding work and a home, she never imagined it would bring her face to face with a ruthless outlaw and his gang!

The adventure begins when Hildy Corrigan befriends a new girl named Dixie Mae, who confides to Hildy that her father is a notorious bank robber and has kidnapped her from her mother. Dixie Mae is afraid of her father, who plans to rob a nearby train carrying millions of dollars in gold.

Aided by her feisty tomboy cousin, Ruby Konning, and her friend Spud, the three friends risk their lives to help Dixie Mae escape her captor and to stop the train from being robbed.

Chased across a trestle, tapped and captured, bound and placed with explosive cargo in boxcars plummeting down mountain tracks to certain destruction what an adventure!
