November Book Club will meet at the home of Celinda Crego ’79. Celinda has selected the book, Orphan Train by Christina Kline. This is a novel based on actual orphan trains that carried orphans to the Midwest.
“Foster teen Molly is performing community-service work for elderly widow Vivian, and as they go through Vivian’s cluttered attic, they discover that
their lives have much in common. When Vivian was a girl, she was taken to a new life on an orphan train. These trains carried children to adoptive families for 75 years, from the mid-nineteenth century to the start of the Great Depression.“ (from Booklist)
There are MANY copies of the book in the Buffalo and Erie County library, in different formats.
Contact Celinda Crego ’79 at CAC432@aol.com for more information.
