Running with Trains: A Novel in Poetry and Two Voices

102 pp. | Boyds/Wordsong | June, 2012 | Library ISBN 978-1-59078-863-9 $15.95
(3) 4-6 With Dad MIA in Vietnam and Mom back in school, thirteen-year-old Perry takes the train back and forth between Gran's and Mom's every week; Steve is a lonely nine-year-old on an Ohio farm, enamored with the train that passes through his family's property. Both boys' alternating voices are unique and poignant in this verse novel about self-discovery and the nature of home.
