Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All

Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All by Laura Ruby 

Text from the back cover:

When Frankie's mother died and her father let Frankie and her siblings at an orphanage in Chicago, it was supposed to be only temporary.  That's why Frankie is not prepared on the day that her father arrives for his weekend visit with a new woman on his arm and out-of-state train tickets in his pocket.  Now Frankie and her sister, Toni, are abandoned alongside so many other orphans.  And as the embers of the Great Depression are kindled into the fires of World War II, and ghosts of the past walk the streets in broad daylight, it will be up to Frankie to find something worth holding onto in the ruins of this shattered America -- every minute of every day spent wondering if the life she's able to carve out will be enough.
