One orphan. One dream. One unstoppable journey. In the soot-filled streets of 19th-century England, young Thomas toils in a textile factory, bound by poverty and a fate that seems inescapable. But Thomas is no ordinary boy—when he discovers the power of knowledge, he risks everything to teach himself to read in secret.

A chance encounter with a wealthy businessman changes his life forever, setting him on an unexpected path—one that leads from the factory floor to the heart of the booming railroad industry. With ingenuity, ambition, and sheer determination, Thomas rises through the ranks, defying every expectation placed upon him. But success comes with its own dangers. Ruthless competitors, betrayal, and the ever-present shadow of his past threaten to derail everything he has built.

As he faces his greatest challenge yet, Thomas must ask himself—how much is he willing to sacrifice to claim the future he has fought for?

A gripping tale of resilience, ambition, and the power of education, The Iron Road: From Factory Boy to Railroad Tycoon is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, underdog triumphs, and stories that prove no destiny is set in stone.

The road to greatness is forged in fire. Will Thomas survive the journey?
