Orphan Train (Kennebec Large Print superior collection) - Softcover

"I was so moved by this book. I loved Molly and Vivian, two brave, difficult, true-hearted women who disrupt one another's lives in beautiful ways, and loved journeying with them, through heartbreak and stretches of history I'd never known existed, out of loneliness toward family and home."--Marisa de los Santos, New York Times-bestselling author of Belong to Me and Falling Together

"In ORPHAN TRAIN, Christina Baker Kline seamlessly knits together the past and present of two women, one young and one old. Kline reminds us that we never really lose anyone or anything or--perhaps most importantly--ourselves."--Ann Hood, author of "The Knitting Circle"

"I loved this book: its absorbing back-and-forth story, its vivid history, its eminently loveable characters. ORPHAN TRAIN wrecked my heart and made me glad to be literate."--Monica Wood, author of "When We Were the Kennedys"

"Christina Baker Kline writes exquisitely about two unlikely friends . . . each struggling to transcend a past of isolation and hardship. ORPHAN TRAIN will hold you in its grip as their fascinating tales unfold."--Cathy Marie Buchanan, "New York Times"-bestselling author of "The Painted Girls"

"Christina Baker Kline's latest wonder, ORPHAN TRAIN, makes for compulsive reading...Meticulously researched and yet full of the breath of life, Kline's novel takes us on an historical journey where survival depends upon one's own steely backbone, and the miracle of a large and generous heart."--Helen Schulman, "New York Times"-bestselling author of "This Beautiful Life"

"A lovely novel about the search for family that also happens to illuminate a fascinating and forgotten chapter of American history. Beautiful."--Ann Packer, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier and Swim Back to Me

"Christina Baker Kline is a relentless storyteller. Once she sets her hook and starts reeling you in, struggle becomes counterproductive. The narrative line is too taut, the angler at the other end too skillful."--Richard Russo, author of "Empire Falls" and "That Old Cape Magic"

"Evocative writing."--New York Times Book Review

"Kline's razor-sharp novel about love, marriage and obligation is a beach book only because you could zip through it anywhere."--More magazine on Bird in Hand

"Kline has a perfect sense of character and timing."--Publishers Weekly
