For Julie Dewey of Manlius, one small article, read almost 20 years ago, was enough to spark a continued interest in the orphan trains of America.... Forgetting Tabitha follows a young girl who after tragedy strikes is forced to move to the squalid neighborhood of the Five Points District in New York City.... The [Sisters of Charity] offer her the chance at a new life, though doing so means leaving everything about her past behind, and setting of out west to start a new life with a new family.... This historical story does address some of the issues most common to those who experienced the orphan trains, including some mature content.
