Vivian Daly es una anciana de 91 años y Molly, de 17, es una joven problemática que vive con una familia de acogida. Vivian y Molly se conocen cuando esta última, condenada a realizar trabajos sociales por haber tratado de robar un libro en la biblioteca local, acepta encargarse de la limpieza de la buhardilla de la anciana. A medida que trabaja, ella y Vivian empiezan a compartir la historia de sus vidas, que tiene muchos puntos en común.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

When young, Vivian, an Irish orphaned immigrant in New York City, was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance. Seventeen-year-old Molly knows that a community-service position will keep her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian, now 91, to sort through her keepsakes and possessions, discovers that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they appear. Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.
