It has been ranked No. 1 On the New York Times novel list for 85 consecutive weeks and has been sold in 36 countries. Cai Kangyong sincerely recommends it. The joys and sorrows of life spanning a century are comparable to the profound emotion of "The Kite Runner". Although not all separations lead to reunion, what is lost will come back in another way. From 1854 to 1929, the Orphan Train from the eastern United States carried tens of thousands of homeless children to the Midwest. They were chosen at various stops along the way, and their future fate was determined entirely by luck. The 9-year-old girl Vivian is one of them, but good luck did not befall her. For her, boarding the orphan train was just a small part of the curtain of joy and sorrow of fate. Today, Vivian is 91 years old. She has lost too many things in her long life, which she dares not recall. An accidental act of kindness led Vivian to meet the orphan Molly, and the past flooded her again. However, this time life gave me the answer I deserved.
