Description

Orphan Train A Novel by Christina Baker Kline is a powerful and epic novel about two women, one nearing the end of her foster care journey and the other carrying secrets from America's tumultuous past. Molly Ayer, just months from turning 18, finds herself on a community service project to help an elderly woman clean out her home. As she works alongside Vivian Daly, Molly uncovers hidden keys to Vivian's story - a tale of a young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City and put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destiny was determined by luck and chance. As Molly digs deeper, she finds surprising parallels between her own experience as a Penobscot Indian and Vivian's story. This unexpected connection gives Molly the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life. Rich in detail, this novel is a story of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and the secrets we carry with us that keep us from finding out who we are. Through their unlikely friendship, Kline explores themes of identity, community, and the enduring power of human connection.
