Sarah has never quite belonged anywhere. She has a life at home, where her family and friends depend on her, but something is missing. She's never felt the kind of love people dream about and is afraid she never will. Desperate for a little adventure, Sarah takes a solo trip via train from her home town to see the Grand Canyon, a journey she has long dreamed of making. Never did she expect that direction of her life would change as a result of this trip... and the mystery man she encounters, Running with the Train.Running with the Train is a haunting short story by Kathryn Meyer Griffith that will linger after finishing. As a lover of wolves myself, I can totally associate with Sarah's fascination with them. Beautiful, majestic, dedicated to their mate and their pack, peaceful and dangerous at the same time, what's not to love? Kathryn does a great job of painting the story with her words. There is even a little bit of mystery tied in, with the retired policeman Sarah encounters and the warnings about missing persons. The romance happened extremely fast, but still worked for the story. I look forward to trying more stories by Kathryn Meyer Griffith. Kelley A. Hartsell, November 2013. All rights reserved.
