The Junior League of Lancaster Authors Luncheon with New York Times Best Selling Author Christina Baker Kline
to
Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square S Queen Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17603
The Junior League of Lancaster proudly welcomes New York Times Best Selling Author Christina Baker Kline for their 2015 Author’s Luncheon! Guests will enjoy food and fellowship, while enjoying a presentation from Christina Baker Kline about her best-selling novel Orphan Train.
Christina Baker Kline, a novelist, nonfiction writer, and editor, brings a little-known chapter in American history to light in her recent New York Times best-selling novel, Orphan Train. Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from cities on the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by luck or chance. As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world away. Returning to the east coast later in life, Vivian strikes up an unlikely friendship with Molly Ayer, an eighteen-year-old on the verge of leaving the child welfare system. As the two grow closer, they begin to find answers to mysteries that have haunted both of them their entire lives – answers that will ultimately free them both.
Orphan Train is the 2015 “One Book, One Community: Our Region Reads” selection for Berks, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York Counties!
What is the One Book, One Community: Our Region Reads! Campaign? Community-wide reading, or "One Book," programs are designed to promote the value of reading by recommending a compelling book that links the community in a common conversation. One Book programs encourage dialogue about a particular book, but also foster lifelong learning and the development of a strong community identity.
