Oh, what a good book! Children on an Orphan Train, being sent along the way in hopes of being adopted by a family in each town. The story is basically about an old woman, once on the train herself and a young girl, who is in search of her identity and "herself". It seems unlikely they would come together. The author takes you between then and now, and writes in such a way that you can't help but care about the characters. This is a book you'll savor; I know I sure did.
