The Angel At The Train Station

In the land where the winds always blew warm and balmy on your skin, and the sun and moon and stars always shone cool on your face, there lives a lovely little girl with curly brown hair. Her name is Yael, the sweetest, kindliest girl anyone could ever meet, and she has been waiting all her life to meet her mother. One day, her train ticket finally comes, and everyone is excited. She sets out with her friends to the train station where she will ride the locomotive to take her to her family. What happens after is a bittersweet story– but one filled with healing and hope.

Yael is based on a real child, a lovely little girl who was supposed to meet her mother in 2009. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion, nine months in the making, quickly turned to grief for those waiting.

Sometimes in our life, things happen that make no sense. Events that cause hearts to break, bring unbearable pain, create lasting scars and take forever to heal. This book was written, not to make sense of those things, for that would be too presumptuous–there is no making sense of these things. It was written by a friend for a friend to give a little comfort in her time of grief. May it give comfort and solace to others as well.- SJL
