This review is also available on Goodreads. It would appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction. Orphan Train is a story of friendship and overcoming adversity. Though, I felt the ending wrapped up a little too perfectly. I enjoyed the storyline with how the past and present were told. I liked Molly too, though at times I wanted her to think better before acting. I loved Vivian both in past and present timeline. Maybe the value is in the process-in touching each item, in naming and identifying, in acknowledging the significance of a cardigan, a pair of children’s boots. Throughout the book, I felt sad and mad for what the characters had to go through.

This book played with my emotions as I hoped for. Her safe bet led her to Vivian Daly, a rich old woman who seemingly so different from herself, but with a past that could intrinsically connect them. But when her future and survival was on the line, she was forced to reassess her options. Christopher Tricarico handled for Broad Green.Trouble had been following Molly Ayer all her life.
