Between Two Worlds: The Forgotten Children of America
Imagine being nine years old, standing on a train platform in rural Minnesota, wearing your best clothes while strangers inspect you like livestock. Your family is gone, your name has been changed, and you're told to smile and look useful. This was reality for nearly 200,000 children transported on "orphan trains" between 1854 and 1929-a chapter of American history that remained largely forgotten until Christina Baker Kline's novel illuminated their stories. Through the parallel journeys of ninety-one-year-old Vivian Daly and seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer, we discover how displacement and the search for belonging create invisible bonds across generations, reminding us that the ghosts of our past are never truly gone.
