Adapted and condensed for a young audience, Orphan Train Girl includes an authors note and archival photos from the orphan train era. This book is especially perfect for mother/daughter reading groups. Molly Ayer has been in foster care since she was eight years old. Most of the time, Molly knows its her attitude thats the problem, but after being shipped from one family to another, shes had her fair share of adults treating her like an inconvenience. So when Mollys forced to help an a wealthy elderly woman clean out her attic for community service, Molly is wary. But from the moment they meet, Molly realizes that Vivian isnt like any of the adults shes encountered before. Vivian asks Molly questions about her life and actually listens to the answers. Soon Molly sees they have more in common than she thought. Vivian was once an orphan, tooan Irish immigrant to New York City who was put on a so-called "orphan train" to the Midwest with hundreds of other childrenand she can understand, better than anyone else, the emotional binds that have been making Mollys life so hard. Together, they not only clear boxes of past mementos from Vivians attic, but forge a path of friendship, forgiveness, and new beginnings
