Publisher's Synopsis
Saul Bilkman is a slick lawyer on an accidental cross-country train ride when he meets Francis Toussant and his dog Begonia. Fran is soft spoken and sweet, and Saul feels the need to keep talking to the guy. Saul soon learns that Fran is a widower who lost the love of his life and is still grieving. Despite their differences, the Angel of Fate has put these two older men together on this particular train for a reason. The train goes in its correct and expected direction-but not so much Saul and Fran. These strangers become lovers, and despite their intended destinations, end up in much different and far better places instead. In this modern day fairy tale, Saul and Fran are transformed by the power of love, need, and hope. Their meeting is no accident but the will of fate. These men began their journey as lonely strangers but will end up as hopeful lovers finding their ways home to each other.
