ÒSo WhatÕs The Hurry? Tales From the TrainÓ is a collection of essays about life: American life and the inner life all framed through the lens of JaneÕs train travel across the United States. Her seat in coach organizes and propels observations and conversations. Both offer timely and insightful views of the often-forgotten flyover states and the people who ride the train. Some are afraid to fly, others, like Jane, prefer the time to read, think, muse, look out the window, sleep. The writing is a bit of Americana not unlike the work of Studs Terkel. Like the train itself, Jane, in her mid-70Õs, is not in any hurry for life or the train ride to be over. ISBN 978-1-7923-2145-0
