![]() After she’s caught trying to steal Jane Eyre from the library, she comes to work for the now elderly Vivian through a community service commitment. A good kid with tattoos, nose studs, and hair dyed black with two white stripes, she also goes from one foster family to another, the adults unable to give her the emotional support she needs. In 2011, Molly might as well be an orphan: her mother has given her up. Niamh (pronounced Neeve) is renamed Dorothy and then Vivian by a succession of families who take her in. The self-satisfied and pious leaders of the Christian Aid Society send her to the Midwest aboard an orphan train, which distributed children to families who needed cheap labor or, for the lucky ones, a child to love. Irish-American Niamh is left an orphan in the 1920s when her family dies in a tenement fire. ![]()
