À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. Would they be adopted by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood and adoles-cence of hard labor and servitude As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world away. Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful existence on the coast of Maine, the memories of her upbringing rendered a hazy blur. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through her keepsakes and possessions, she discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they appear. A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and out of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.

  • Orphan Train

    This book is a hard one to put down. Riveting story about a young orphaned immigrant girl who is shuffled about and in very old age meets a girl who suffers almost parallel experiences of her own. A very thought provoking story about similar situations in different generations.

  • Orphan Train

    Very, very interesting. I did not know about this practice and while it was necessary at that time, it is still disturbing to read about today. It was not only fascinating, but enlightening at the same time. I commiserated with the main person and am still disturbed about all that she had to endure. Loved the ending. Quite a wonderful surprise. Great work. Thank you

  • compelling story line

    I couldn't put this down once I began.... The story does an excellent job telling of the orphan trains both from the perspectives of the orphans' lives back then and their descendants. Many books forget to mention that the future generations were impacted by those adopted and un-adopted orphans. I also liked the book's ties to the present day foster care system. Vivian and Molly's stories weren't so very different, even though they were generations apart. I hope my book club adds this one to our list.

  • great book and would highly recommend

    Our book club read Orphan Train and all 18 members loved the book. They found out information they did not know about these orphans and the great need to help them. The story, itself, could have been realistic. it was important to look up additional information to know that many of these children had a happy life and became doctors, lawyers, teachers, a governor and many other professions. All of the members gave the book a 5 and we are going to watch the documentary on the Orphan Train as a follow up.

  • Great value, and an amazing book.

    The price for this book was great, and it is in good condition. The story is great. It is sad, and it shows a time period in US history that most people don’t know about.
