I loved this book! Based on historical facts of the more than 200,000 orphaned or abandoned children shipped from eastern cities to the mid-West and offered for 'adoption' by residents. Many were no more than indentured servants kept for their labor. Some were lucky and found loving homes. This books flashes between Vivian (aka Nieve/Dorothy) who was sent away when she was very young and taken in by several families and rejected until one family gives her a home. Flash to a young girl, Molly, who is in the Foster Care system current day, who comes to do community service at Vivian's house, now 90+ YO. The two connect and through vastly different but oddly similar experiences, they bond. Excellent story!!!! I didn't want it to end!
