Orphan train - Christina Baker Kline - Harper Collins Libri - Poche - Livre

Rich in detail and epic in scope, ORPHAN TRAIN is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are. Christina Baker Klines smash No. 1 New York Times bestseller is now available as an A format paperback!

Molly can't help but think that the 50 hours will be tedious, but at least they'll keep her out of juvie, and right now that's all she cares about. Ninety-
