Like many, I was a great fan of Orphan Train but as I've picked more of Kline's books, I've been less enthralled. I love when an author takes a minor player in a larger picture and weaves a story around it (like Jennifer Robson) and although this attempted that goal, it fell short. I have worked with people having various disabilities and although we are much more advanced in their care, "Christine" comes off as bitter and even mean, no doubt attributed to the lack of medical interventions and care in the early 1900's. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30255942-a-piece-of-the-world?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=jg062Hsb70&rank=1
