Description
Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan train ran regularly from cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandobed children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. Would they be adopted by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood of hard labor and servitude?
As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world away. Returning cast later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful existence on the coast of Maine. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulence past.
Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through het possessions, she discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they appear.
Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.
