FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Rydr is on a train heading east. She's leaving California and traveling to Chicago to live with a relative she's never met. All she has is her hearts-and-flowers bag, a few memories both happy and sad, and a black box containing something very important. As Rydr meets her fellow passengers and learns their stories, her own story begins to emerge. As much as she may want to run away from her past, on the train she finds that hope and forgiveness are all around her and, most important, within her, if she's willing to look for it.

Heartbreaking and unforgettable." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Rydr herself is sympathetic, and she's got a believable voice, a mix of vulnerability, edginess, and raw fury at her rotten luck.
