What is Lent? And When Does Lent Start?

"El tren de los huérfanos" (Orphan Train) by Christina Baker Kline is a historical fiction novel that connects the stories of 17-year-old foster youth Molly Ayer and 91-year-old orphan train survivor Vivian Daly. The narrative explores themes of identity, resilience, and memory as the two characters confront their pasts and find comfort in each other.
