I was not sure what the book was about. It seemed interesting to learn about the Orphan Trains back in history. From 1854 to 1929,so called orphan trains transported more than two hundred thousand orphaned, abandoned and homeless children from the coastal cities of the eastern United States to the Midwest for
"adoption" which often turned out to be indentured servitude. This book is the story of one such girl.The author does an excellent job of bringing together that story along with the story of a modern foster child of today 2011. Both are longing to find a people to accept them and to feel safe. Two unlikely true-hearted women who disrupt one another's lives in beautiful ways.
