She continues to extol the pleasures of Wichita, Kansas, as in her previous novels, highlighting the neighborhoods, the friendliness, the small-town ability to stop and chat. This time, she jumps into the past to show how people, especially women, learn and change through exposure to big ideas.<br /><br />The main character, Cora, is sent from a New York orphanage on the orphan train to the Midwest. It is up to Fate whether Cora will be chosen by good people or people who want a child-slave for their farm?Portugalhttp://tearingdownvsbuildingup.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-90265153319739451092012-05-27T07:57:50.744-04:002012-05-27T07:57:50.744-04:00Oh thanks for the info on the orphan train movie; ...Oh thanks for the info on the orphan train movie; I'll have to look for that.(Diane) bookchickdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640913682123489734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-91154800325368885532012-05-27T00:50:06.195-04:002012-05-27T00:50:06.195-04:00Thanks for convincing me to read this book and als...Thanks for convincing me to read this book and also Ann Patchett.<br /><br />By the way, there's a pretty good movie about the orphan train; I can't recall if it's a Disney movie or another one.ReneeReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587732677211215113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-18905411592521849272012-05-27T00:49:49.411-04:002012-05-27T00:49:49.411-04:00Thanks for convincing me to read this book and als...Thanks for convincing me to read this book and also Ann Patchett.<br /><br />By the way, there's a pretty good movie about the orphan train; I can't recall if it's a Disney movie or another one.ReneeReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587732677211215113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-66012046918487715192012-05-27T00:47:56.037-04:002012-05-27T00:47:56.037-04:00Thanks for convincing me to read this book and als...Thanks for convincing me to read this book and also Ann Patchett.<br />By the way, there's a pretty good movie about the orphan train; I can't recall if it's a Disney movie or another one.Christynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-40295279739036806202012-05-26T17:39:24.179-04:002012-05-26T17:39:24.179-04:00I've heard great things about this book.I've heard great things about this book.Jessicahttp://hispanicreader.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-47803544068961749842012-05-25T17:43:31.749-04:002012-05-25T17:43:31.749-04:00Sounds wonderful!
