Review From:  Publishers Weekly

A present day teenager who is aging out of foster care, and at risk of going to "juvie", unlocks the secrets of an elderly woman for whom she is doing a community service project to dispose of her lifetime possessions.What evolves are the stories of a resilient survivor of the orphan trains that regularly transported orphans from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest in the 1920's.
