The Cover of this book, Train to Laramie by Andrew Roth, is what

peaked my curiosity and interest in reading it. I am very glad I 

"judged a book" by it's cover, because I liked the Book as 

much as the Cover. 

Tess lives in a small house with her Mom and Stepfather. She 

doesn't get along with her Stepfather. Tess finally gets enough 

courage to flee from her Abusive Stepfather. She boards a train, 

only to discover she is on the wrong one and it is heading in the 

wrong direction. Her original destination was Chicago, but she 

ends up in a small town called Laramie. The Town appears to be

a town of Labor workers and friendly. Well, Tess finds out danger

awaits from Outlaws. She meets fellow town person, Brett Calloway,

and he becomes her protector. Tess and Brett from a wonderful 

friendship and Tess feels like she is liking him for more then a

friend. Tess is really in danger when her StepFather discovers

where she is and comes to Laramie. Will Brett fully protect her 

from her Evil Stepfather? Does the friendship deepen to a 

romantic relationship? 

I am just WOWED by the writing style and the storyline of this 

book. I really saw the message of "Gods plans are Greater then

our Own Plans" ring true in this book. Tess did not go in wrong 

direction on the wrong train, she went exactly where God was 

leading her. She didn't know it at the time, but I can see in the 

book that she saw that later. Andrew Roth is a new to me author, 

but I definitely want to read more of his books.  GREAT BOOK!

More from Andrew

The American West has always fascinated me with ruggedly beautiful landscapes and the indomitable spirit of the pioneers.  When building the Transcontinental Railroad, nothing could stop the people from their goal. This innovation and tenacity has shaped our soul, our character as a nation. This deep sense of perseverance encourages me through the tough times we face today.
