The Last Train is a thrilling journey seen through the eyes of a thirteen year old girl as she flees New York in a time of chaos and violent anarchy in America. Her undying will and courage take her north, up the Hudson River Valley, helped by some, hunted by others, buffeted by a series of shattering events, determined to make it to a nearly mythical train that is ferrying people north into safe zones. Peppered throughout are the girl's flashbacks, both poignant and horrifying, as little by little her family endures the unraveling of their life, and as the world around them dissolves into social disorder. This amazing story captures the zeitgeist of our times.
