In 1929, New York City is a vibrant but cruel place for the weak. The number of orphans living on the streets multiplies. These children are seen as a nuisance, leading to a radical solution: 'Orphan Trains' that carry children to the interior of the United States to be handed over to strangers. Vivian, who lost her family in a fire, is forced to board one of these trains. Decades later, Molly Ayer, a young girl in the foster care system, connects with Vivian, discovering shared experiences that lead to mutual salvation.
Christina Baker Kline is an American novelist. She is the author of seven novels, including Orphan Train, and has co-authored or edited five non-fiction books. Kline is a Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation Fellowship recipient.
