Train tells the story of an American teenage girl coming of age living in Antwerp, Belgium with her family during the 1970s. This whimsical autobiographical fiction takes you on a journey of self-discovery and celebrates how the bewitching power of nostalgia can touch a soul and change a life forever. When Louisa LaPlante, an awkward twelve-year-old, is uprooted from the only world she has known to a foreign country, she could never have been prepared for the wild storm that was ahead. She's drawn into a new world of intrigue, misadventure - and danger. From calamitous journeys throughout Europe, developing a spiritual obsession with the Euro-pop music to meeting sketchy characters. And more surprises are thrown at her when she falls in love with a local boy who doesn't speak her language, leading to bold choices with serious consequences. Decades later, Belgium is a distant memory and Louisa faces the crossroads of despair as a recent divorcee. But one day, her mother surprises her with a trip back to Antwerp, igniting a fever of nostalgia. She is transported back to those forgotten Euro-pop bands and lost memories as she heads on a plane to her past. Could this trip returning to her formative years be the salvation to her present-day torment? She'll have to live it all over again- all the way back to the beginning- to find out.
