She knows the risks. Train-hopping is dangerous. Railroad bulls are deadly. But fourteen-year-old June Baker has no other choice. It's 1933, and the Great Depression is spreading misery throughout the country. If June doesn't find work, her family could lose their farm - and they've already lost too much.
