When Trains Collide is Amber Stokes newest novella, though it’s novella it is a
sweet read that includes a train journey, a lighthouse and second
chances. Trisha Knolane just happens to be Derek’s sister from When
a Star Falls. Burn out from the school semester Trisha on a whim
books a train ride in order to surprise her friend with a visit.
But the train gave her more than she bargained for; she runs into
her ex-boyfriend Paul Benson. And what follows is an adventure as well as
two people finding out that forgiveness and second chances are possible as all
things are possible with God.
I found myself relating
to Trisha being stressed out with school and needed a break, as well as not
knowing what I want to major in and second guessing myself. I actually changed
my major three times. First I wanted to be a vet, than a nurse, and finally I
ended being a Criminal Justice major who now works a library.
I have read everything
Amber has written I enjoy her books, novella’s and the fact that Faith and a
relationship with Jesus plays a big part in Amber’s novels. We had
a bit of a wait for this novella, but the wait was actually worth. To me
this book was published at the right time. I do look forward to what else Amber
has up her sleeves. When Trains Collide has two of the things I love
train travel and lighthouses, which is funny because I live in a land locked
state, with lots of lakes. As well as a state that doesn’t have passenger
trains other than a dinner train. I just think that taking at least an
overnight train journey would be awesome. Taking a train cross county either
the U.S. or Canada is on my bucket list. And again I look forward to reading
whatever Amber has next for us.
I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
