This novel weaves contemporary life and history into a compelling story about loss, adaptability and courage. Molly, a modern rebellious 17-year-old foster child, is sentenced to community service for petty theft. Vivian, whose family perished in a tenement fire in New York shortly after immigrating in 1929, was packed off on one of the many orphan trains to the Midwest. Vivian?s life parallels Molly?s and an unlikely friendship blossoms between them as they get to know one another. The book is a compassionate comparison of the plight of children without families in the two time periods. Facilitator: Eileen Miller OSF Offering: $6/session. Register and prepay by Monday, Oct. 6.
