"Orphan Train" is a novel by Christina Baker Kline, published in 2013. The story follows the lives of two protagonists, Vivian Daly and Molly Ayer, whose lives intersect through the historical phenomenon known as the "Orphan Train" movement. Vivian Daly, an elderly woman, is one of the thousands of children sent on orphan trains from the East Coast to the Midwest in the early 20th century. As a young girl, Vivian endured hardship and uncertainty as she was shuffled from one foster home to another, never quite finding a place to call home. Molly Ayer is a modern-day teenager struggling with her own challenges, including a troubled family life and brushes with the law. When Molly is assigned community service helping Vivian clean out her attic, the two form an unlikely bond that leads to revelations about their shared pasts and the resilience of the human spirit.
