520    Philomena meets The Orphan Train in this suspenseful, 
       provocative novel filled with love, secrets, and 
       deceit́ђؤthe story of a young unwed mother who is forcibly
       separated from her daughter at birth and the lengths to 
       which they go to find each other.In 1950s Quebec, French 
       and English tolerate each other with precarious 
       civilitýђؤmuch like Maggie Hughes' parents. Maggie's 
       English-speaking father has ambitions for his daughter 
       that don't include marriage to the poor French boy on the 
       next farm over. But Maggie's heart is captured by Gabriel 
       Phe⁺ѓnix. When she becomes pregnant at fifteen, her parents
       force her to give baby Elodie up for adoption and get her 
       life 'back on track'.Elodie is raised in Quebec's 
       impoverished orphanage system. It's a precarious enough 
       existence that takes a tragic turn when Elodie, along with
       thousands of other orphans in Quebec, is declared mentally
       ill as the result of a new law that provides more funding 
       to psychiatric hospitals than to orphanages. Bright and 
       determined, Elodie withstands abysmal treatment at the 
       nuns' hands, finally earning her freedom at seventeen, 
       when she is thrust into an alien, often unnerving 
       world.Maggie, married to a businessman eager to start a 
       family, cannot forget the daughter she was forced to 
       abandon, and a chance reconnection with Gabriel spurs a 
       wrenching choice. As time passes, the stories of Maggie 
       and Elodie intertwine but never touch, until Maggie 
       realizes she must take what she wants from life and go in 
       search of her long-lost daughter, finally reclaiming the 
       truth that has been denied them both.
