Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
3.0

Liked this despite the predictability and sometimes less than stellar writing. The orphan train phenomenon as a whole I found fascinating, and would have much preferred more historical information on that than the rather forced modern-day Molly storyline. I didn't connect with that viewpoint nearly as much, and wondered why the author chose first-person for the historical yet third-person for the modern day.
