What Members Thought
To me Christina Baker Kline is absolutely a story teller.
This book is very touching and tells an terrible truth happened around a century ago. Between 1854 to 1929 nearly 200,000 were transferred from East Coast to Midwest by so called Orphan Trains to be fostered or if they were lucky adopted by new people.
Things happened to those children was determined by their luck and who took them in.

Loved it. Historical fiction at its best. It made me want to do research on the Orphan Trains.
I really enjoyed this story, and the audio version was great too. I loved the parallel stories and how they wove together.
