(3) 4-6 With Sarah Thomson. In this adaptation of Kline's adult novel, told in vignettes that alternate between the present and the past, Molly steals a library book and is sentenced to help an old lady clean out her attic. It turns out that modern-day foster kid Molly and Vivian, who rode an orphan train in the 1920s, share unique experiences. Both characters' desperation for stability is poignant and compelling.
