This month's title: Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.

Between 1854 and 1929, orphan trains ran regularly from the East Coast to the Midwest, carrying children whose fates would be determined by pure luck.  Vivian Daly was one such child. Returning east later in life, she leads a quiet life on the coast of Maine. But in her attic are vestiges of a turbulent past. Seventeen-year-old Molly knows that a community-service position helping Vivian clean out her attic is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as she helps Vivian sort through her keepsakes and possessions, she discovers that they aren't as different as they appear.
