Train Man

Michael has decided that today he will take his own life. Maria is working three jobs and sending money home to her family. They are two strangers, with little in common, whose paths meet on this day. There is a lot of darkness in this book before we reach for the light. Michael, in particular, is haunted by his past. But it is only at the end of the readers journey that we can appreciate the qualities of this book and how random everything can be and that we can find hope even at the darkest times. I'm very glad that I've read this book.
