review 1: I won this novel in a Goodreads, Firstreads giveaway. The author is Steve Brigman and I plan to read more of his books. Thank you.Two children become acquainted on an Orphan Train taking them out West to hopefully be adopted. Sadly, they are separated and each goes on his/her way leading different lives until one day they surprisingly meet. The towns people do not care for them and would like to run them out of town. Venice and James show their love, kindness and trust, and the courage to stand up for their beliefs while experiencing heartbreak and loss. They struggle to uphold Womens Rights and to abolish segregation. The descriptions and details in this novel were excellent, enabling me to clearly envision all of it. I felt that I knew the characters and was inv... moreolved in their lives. I don't want to say any more as I don't want to spoil it for readers. I thought it was a great read and I really enjoyed it. From the title, The Orphan Train, I expected to read more about the history and events on orphan trains.
review 2: The Orphan Train is an endearing story of a young boy’s life. Though he grows up an orphan, he maintains an optimistic vision of his future. Through the book, we learn his adult life is riddled with some tragedies, but there are wonderful surprised and great moments to treasure throughout the story. I adored all of the characters and quickly became invested in finding out his whole story. The book moves quickly and keeps your interest until the jaw-dropping end. less
