The author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be delivers her most ambitious and powerful novel to date: a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.

Nearly eighteen, Molly Ayer knows she has one last chance. Just months from "aging out" of the child welfare system, and close to being kicked out of her foster home, a community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping her out of juvie and worse.

Vivian Daly has lived a quiet life on the coast of Maine. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly discovers 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.

The closer Molly grows to Vivian, the more she discovers parallels to her own life. A Penobscot Indian, she, too, is an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. As her emotional barriers begin to crumble, 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.

Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are.

如果不是drama課演過裏麵的小女孩也不會想起去瞭解美國20世紀初orphan train riders的故事和曆史 the mobility, the rootlessness, the yearning for belonging.

一生一世紀。Some stories are like this, you would never understand it better than having been experienced a fragment of it. Sometimes we have to clean up and put away the past cuz it's too heavy to carry along, but there are definitely times to revisit to ensure ourselves who we truly are. When years pass by, the heavy could be lift upon as feather.

雖然有些套路化(說重點有點俗),不過最後結局那裏還是有被感動到。

第一本在kindle上看完的原版小說 孤兒列車開往一個個城市 將孩子們引嚮未知的歸宿 雖然故事有點俗套 但細緻入微的描摹還是令人熱淚盈眶 一處是列車上的難友Vivian與Dutchy重逢 一處是Vivian和彆離半個世紀的女兒暮年相認 也許歲月曾殘忍地在你身上留下印記 但是如果有一個因類似遭遇而懂你的忘年之交幫你完成救贖 也是一種福氣吧 就像Molly之於Vivian 豆友說 顛沛流離之人在顛沛流離之人身上得到安慰 誠然!
