A fiction novel, based on historical events is my genre of choice, and Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline has been a joy for me to experience. It is an easy read and caught my heart from the first sentence. The books moves between the time periods of 1929 - 1943 and several months in 2011 to weave the story of two females. One being one of the last of the orphan train children and the other being a teen ager in the foster care system today. The two become friends and share their stories with one another. It is a heartwarming novel that weaves through out the importance of friendships and support systems between women. There is a wealth of information online about the orphan trains. For example one source can be found HERE. This book is one not to miss. I highly recommend it as a great read. Remember to click on the author's name and book title above to learn more.
