The Train to Estelline

"I have longed for a wider world, a great adventure. And now it's here. I'm so happy I can hardly breathe." So ends seventeen-year-old Lucinda Richards' diary entry for August 17, 1911, starting her job as the new school teacher for the White Star school in West Texas. Jane Roberts Wood brings to this delightful and affecting epistolary novel a tender touch and a wry sense of humor.
