Between 1854 and 1929, orphan trains carried abandoned children from the East Coast to the Midwest, their futures left to fate. Some found love. Others found hardship.
Vivian Daly was one of them. Torn from her Irish immigrant family and placed in the hands of strangers, she has spent a lifetime burying the past. But when seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer, a troubled foster child, is assigned to help her clean out her attic, the memories come rushing back.
As Molly and Vivian sort through the relics of a lost childhood, they uncover a connection neither expected. Separated by generations but bonded by experience, they must confront painful truths to forge a path forward.
A moving story of resilience, second chances, and the ties that bind, Orphan Train is unforgettable.
