Orphan Train is a moving novel about the search for family that also shines a light on a forgotten chapter of American history.

Between 1845 and 1929, the so-called orphan trains, which ran regularly from cities on the East Coast to the farming regions of the Midwest, transported hundreds of thousands of abandoned children. Their fate was determined by pure luck. Will they be adopted by a caring family? Or will he face a childhood and adolescence of hard work and service?

As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one of those children. She was sent by train from New York to an uncertain future, far from her city. Later back east, Vivian lives a quiet life on the coast of Maine, her memories of growing up hazy. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, lie traces of a turbulent past.

Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that community service, which she will do by cleaning an old widow's attic, is the only way to escape from the reformatory. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through her memories and possessions, she discovers that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem. Native American from the Penobscot tribe, who spent her childhood in numerous foster families, Molly is also an outsider raised by strangers. She, like Vivian, has unanswered questions about her past.

Moving from contemporary Maine to Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful story of upheaval and resilience, second chances and unexpected friendship.
