  In Their Own Words - Testimony...

  What is the cost of an education? 
  Is education an additive process or a reductive one? 
  How does one weigh the benefits of tradition against the threat of being at odds with the future? 
  How does one refuse the offer of a better life for their children? 
  What if the offer is compulsory? 
  What happens when the tree of knowledge bares rotten fruit? 
  While the history of Canada's Residential School program is only just beginning 
  to be unearthed, there are already enough first hand accounts to begin asking 
  some of these questions. The words of the individuals included in this book 
  offer just a glimpse of the results of the effort of one group of people to 
  educate people who were in many cases not seeking the knowledge being 
  offered. These are tales of lessons learned, languages lost, traditions 
  replaced, & charity corrupted.

  Brent Maher, who has produced seven Grammy Award winning records and over twenty #1 singles has written this musical novel, “Night of the Orphan Train”, bringing to life the little-known story of 250,000 homeless orphans who were swept off the streets of New York City and shipped off in boxcars to every state in the union from 1854 until the early 1920s. Songs weave in and out of the saga and help to tell the story of three of these children, who we meet around the age of 11. Caroline, a young girl far older than her years would suggest, Billy, who has an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, and Jacob, whose heart is as big as the moon. We follow their journeys from their childhood to young adulthood with the Orphan Trains, World War I, and Angels Unawares profoundly impacting each of their lives.
