For fans of literary classics such as The Catcher in the Rye and
The Perks of Being a Wallflower comes a stirring new thought-provoking
novel from debut author Sam Miller about a loss shrouded in mystery with
twists and turns down every railway.
Arthur Louis Pullman the Third is on the verge of a breakdown. He's been
stripped of his college scholarship, is losing his grip on reality, and
has been sent away to live with his aunt and uncle.
It's there that Arthur discovers a journal written by his grandfather,
the first Arthur Louis Pullman, an iconic Salinger-esque author who went
missing the last week of his life and died hundreds of miles away from
their family home. What happened in that week--and how much his actions
were influenced by his Alzheimer's--remains a mystery.
But now Arthur has his grandfather's journal--and a final sentence
containing a train route and a destination.
So Arthur embarks on a cross-country train ride to relive his
grandfather's last week, guided only by the clues left behind in the
dementia-fueled journal. As Arthur gets closer to uncovering a sad and
terrible truth, his journey is complicated by a shaky alliance with a
girl who has secrets of her own and by escalating run-ins with a
dangerous Pullman fan base.
Arthur's not the only one chasing a legacy--and some feel there is no
cost too high for the truth.
