Orphan Train is a gripping story of friendship and second chances from Christina Baker Kline， author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be.
Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer is close to “aging out” out of the foster care system. A community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping Molly out of juvie and worse...
As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories， Molly learns that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City， Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.
Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life -- answers that will ultimately free them both.
Rich in detail and epic in scope， Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience， of unexpected friendship， and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.
《孤儿列车》是Christina Baker Kline继《一鸟在手》和《生活应有的样子》之后的又一力作。Molly Ayer马上就要超过“寄养系统”的规定年龄，于是她只能到社区供职，帮助老年人打扫家庭卫生，这成了唯一不会让她生活变得更糟的机会。Molly帮助Vivian整理物品，听Vivian讲述她记忆中的故事，在这个过程中，Molly发现她和Vivian并不是像看起来那样毫无共同点。Vivian与其他成百上千的孩子被送上开往中心部的列车，他们的命运只能由老天决定。Molly发现她有能力帮助Vivian解答困扰了她一生的谜题，而问题的答案终将使他们二人收获自由。
