I re-read this for book club and enjoyed it once again. Both the characters Molly and Vivian are delightful and their lives have similar parallels. Enjoyable for readers of historical fiction.

pick4.5⭐️ I really liked the book, but I didn‘t really enjoy the Molly sections as much as the Vivian sections simply because I felt that Molly was a little too fiesty for my taste. #2025 #bookreview #historicalfiction #reread #fiction
pickSuch a great read! It was on my TBR forever and I‘m so glad I finally got to it, and a little mad at myself for waiting so long to read it.

pickAn incredibly interesting read, based on true events though with fictional characters, and one that truly felt like someone telling their story. Reading it very much felt true in that way where maybe these exact people weren‘t real but everything that happened to them almost certainly happened to someone. I highly recommend it, though if you‘re prone to tears I recommend keeping tissue nearby.
pickThe best historical fiction books are the ones that teach you about a seemingly forgotten time in our history. Between 1854 and 1929, these Orphan Trains transported more than 200,000 orphaned, abandoned, and homeless children – many of them first-generation Irish Catholic immigrants – from the coastal cities of the eastern United States to the Midwest for “adoption” (often, in fact, indentured servitude).
August is here! Fall is in sight! 🎉🎉The kids are back in school, which means more reading time for this mom. 😉I‘m keeping my kindle pick from last month since I never got around to it. My TBR spinner chose Orphan Train and the Morganville Vampires series (rereads). And of course, the whimsical reads bookclub choice OJAD.
