I was curious about this story from the title alone. I had never heard of Orphan Trains before. It captured my interest from the first word. Orphan Train tells the stories of 2 girls, one from the past and one from the present. As you learn about each character you see some similarities. Molly, a teenager who is aging out of the foster system and Vivian, who as a young girl lost her family and was sent west on the Orphan Train to the unknown. It tells of the trials and tribulations that each character character meets and how they deal with their situations. It also tells how 2 people meet and help each other to heal. 4 1/2 stars
