Adult Book Club–Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

March 12, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

The Adult Book Club will meet on March 12 at 5:30 pm to discuss the book Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. Copies of the book may be checked out at the front desk.

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.
