Book Group: The Orphan Train

January 23 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Christ Church Book Group will meet on Tuesday, January 23rd, at 3:00 to discuss The Orphan Train by Christia Baker Kline. The story is based on the true record of the trains that transported over 200,000 orphans from cities in the East to new lives in the Midwest during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This historical novel relates the stories of two very different women: a ninety-one year-old wealthy retiree and a seventeen year-old orphan living in foster care. Although they would seem to have nothing in common, they come to understand the many ways in which they share life experiences.
