Cracks Were All There Were

Another lamentable part of human history--orphans shipped off to who-knows-where (or what, or who) to essentially fend for themselves. Out of sight, out of mind, right? As one can imagine, some of these situations turned out favorably, but many did not. This story tells the back-and-forth tale of a current-day girl trying to belong, and the orphan on the train, who is now an old woman. Well worth a read.
