This was a very interesting story about two girls, one back in the 1920s and one in current time, both of whom are orphans. The 1920s girl traveled from Ireland to New York, where she lost her entire family in a fire and was put on an orphan train and shipped to Minnesota to be adopted;, but the actual truth of the matter was that she was an indentured servant and treated like a slave. Her story was astounding because I am sure there is so much truth to it and evidently happened to a lot of children during that time who were abandoned or orphaned. Just about anyone could take one of these children and treat them any way they wanted.
