My Thoughts on Train to Laramie:
This is a fun read. It’s got some danger and suspense plus a plot that involves your heart. The genre is historical fiction, but there is also a budding romance and a bit of mystery/suspense.
Tess is a strong young woman intent on saving herself from her stepfather. She hops a train thinking she’ll end up in Chicago and be able to get a job. Little does she know that she got on the wrong train and she’s going to the end of the line, Laramie. Here is much lawlessness and she may not have found her safe haven.
Except she does in the form of a new friend. Brett may be the only man who still has a sense of decency in this wild west. But when Tess’ stepfather finds her has she run out of time and line both?
Great book that I enjoyed reading. I hope you give it a read and then come back and tell me what you think.

More from Andrew
The American West has always fascinated me with ruggedly beautiful landscapes and the indomitable spirit of the pioneers. When building the Transcontinental Railroad, nothing could stop the people from their goal. This innovation and tenacity have shaped our soul, our character as a nation. This deep sense of perseverance encourages me through the tough times we face today.
Dedication
To our God and Creator, able to transform lives and redirect paths. Thank you, Savior.
