The Most Precious of Cargoes

Once upon a time, a poor wood­cut­ter and his wife lived in a great for­est. Cold, hunger, pover­ty and a war rag­ing all around them meant their lives were very hard. One day, the woodcutter’s wife res­cues a baby. A baby girl thrown from one of the many trains that con­stant­ly pass through the for­est. This baby, this “most pre­cious of car­goes”, will trans­form the lives of the poor woodcutter’s wife and her hus­band, as well as those whose paths the child will cross – includ­ing the man who threw her from the train. And some will try to pro­tect her, what­ev­er the cost. Their sto­ry will reveal the worst and the best in the hearts of men.
