This is based on a true event about a horrific train crash
near Nashville Tenn. In 1918. This book
is a great story woven by a woman that knew all five men whose lives were mixed
together; a train engineer, a porter, a salesman, a farmer, and a thief. Would you like to hear a story? OK, this starts in 1988 when a woman moves
into a home her family owns and comes across a trunk. In the trunk she finds with very carefully wrapped memorabilia, and
sets out to find out anything she can about the woman and the story of why the
trunk was left in her attic. What she
finds is much much more, come gather around for the story.
This was an awesome book I loved it so much, my grandfather
was a conductor in western Ky for some time, and even though I never got to
meet him this story brought me a bit closer to him and how the lives of my mom
and grandmother where back then. I loved
every minute of the story told even the ugly and bad parts. This book was well written in a very
deliberate and thoughtful way. This
would be a great addition to any library personal or public.
