This was a happy surprise. I didn't expect this book to become available from the library for several months (I was as #56 on the wait list only in January) but it popped up this morning. Funny thing, this is my 2nd 'train' themed book in a row. Already this is shaping up to be really good. I am impressed with the author's portrayal of Rachel's drinking problem. Clearly the author has personal experience in this area, or she has done an excellent job researching the topic.
