The train of orphans

On the verge of eighteen, Molly Aire realizes she has one last chance. After only months of leaving the foster care system, and her near eviction from her foster home, the only thing keeping her away from worse is helping an elderly woman Vivian Daily clean her house as part of community service. While helping Vivian Daily sort her belongings and memories, Molly discovers that she and Vivian are not as different as they seem. A young Irish immigrant who was orphaned in New York City, Vivian was placed on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose fate would be determined by luck and chance. The closer Molly gets to Vivian, the more she discovers similarities with their own lives. Author: Christina Baker Klein Publisher: Sidra Publishing and Distribution Number of pages: 454
