  Based on a true story

  Between 1913 and 1920, a number of American citizens, taking advantage of a loophole in postal regulations,
  circumvented the law to ship children as packages, provided they weighed no more than 50 pounds! It is in this context that a Native American US postal worker will be charged with “delivering” a young girl who lost her mother in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to her grandparents in Chicago. These unlikely companions will cross the United States, embarking on an adventure inspired by real historical events. A deeply human and thoroughly documented story by the authors of Fukushima that takes readers on a road trip through the Wild West!
