Orphan Train Girl

Sometimes you don’t look for perfect. Sometimes enough is the most you can hope for.

Nobody can make you do stuff you don’t want to do. Nobody can tell you who you are, nobody but you.

Life throws us together with all sorts of people. And we don’t have much choice about most of them.

have to pretend. Smile and nod and try to act like everybody else, even though I feel broken inside.

Who knows what’ll happen to us? If it’s bad we just have to put up with it. Or maybe we’ll get lucky and live happily ever after. Only the good Lord knows what’s next, and he ain’t telling.

Maybe that’s how you get to be rich, Molly thinks, by making sure you keep track of every penny.
