Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
3.0

An old timey orphan and a modern day foster kid cross paths and make a positive difference in one another's life. You get the old timey story of the Orphan a Train experience told by 91 year-old Viv and the modern day perspective of being a foster kid shuffled from home to home and never fitting in by the teenage Molly. Reminded me a bit of the orphan train story from "My Notorious Life" but I found Kate Manning's version more interesting and engaging.

Not a real standout or anything, but it was sweet and easy to read and the characters were relatable. Seems like loads of people loved it so maybe that set my expectations too high.
