SANDUSKY, MICHIGAN -- Bestselling author Sherry A. Burton is proud to announce the upcoming release of Endurance, the seventh installment in her multi-award-winning Orphan Train Saga. Scheduled for release on December 27, 2025, Endurance continues the series’ tradition of blending rich historical detail with deeply emotional, character-driven storytelling. Although part of a larger series, Endurance stands firmly on its own, offering both longtime fans and new readers an unforgettable journey.
Endurance: 
 As an American child lost in Germany who must somehow find her way back to the United States, Dorthia knows that once she is there, she will have no home or family waiting for her, as she does not know how to find them.

From the uneasy streets of pre-war Germany in 1914 to the crowded avenues of New York City and then via an Orphan Train to Guymon, Oklahoma, join Dorthia as she uses her wits to navigate this new life fate has given her and struggles to fill the void left when her father is suddenly taken from her.

Will Dorthia be able to overcome the obstacles that plague her at every step?

Will she ever find the family she longs for?

Will she find all she is seeking in the Oklahoma Panhandle, a place history still refers to as No Man’s Land?

Find out in this standalone novel as the journey continues with Endurance, book seven in The Orphan Train Saga.

A Note from Author Sherry A. Burton
“Although the children in The Orphan Train Saga are fictional, I use true history to tell their stories. I knew from earlier books that Dorthia was more worldly than some of the other girls. Research from the era shows that girls living on the streets often faced impossible choices—sometimes resorting to prostitution not out of promiscuity, but as a means of survival. With Endurance, my goal was to portray that harsh reality honestly but compassionately, without overwhelming readers.
“The mention of a young girl being held captive in a house of ill repute comes directly from my research. The child was just fourteen when she was found imprisoned on Roosevelt Street, and her story stayed with me.
“Around the same time, a woman commented on one of my posts and shared how her grandmother came to America as a governess. That story called to me, and I knew immediately it was the perfect foundation for how to tell Dorthia’s story.
“My mission with this saga remains the same: to preserve the history of the orphan trains and keep alive the memories of the children who rode them.”
Sherry A. Burton’s Orphan Train Saga is officially endorsed by the National Orphan Train Complex. She offers lectures on the History of the Orphan Trains and is a proud member of the NOTC Speakers Bureau.
