Forced to travel by train, he begins a journey of rude awakenings, thrilling adventures and holiday magic. He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, as he rediscovers people's essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost.
The Christmas Train is filled with memorable characters who have packed their bags with as much wisdom as mischief ... and shows how we do get second chances to fulfill our deepest hopes and dreams, especially during this season of miracles.
Tom Langdon is a war correspondent who has decided to take a train cross country from Washington DC to California to spend the Christmas holidays with his girlfriend. During this adventurous excursion, he meets a cast of eclectic characters that make the journey memorable and exciting. Most importantly, Tom runs into someone that left an impression on his life and regret in his heart. When the folks aboard the Amtrak come together to make holiday wishes come true, this might just prove to be a Christmas Tom won’t soon forget.
I’ve never read a novel by David Baldacci before, so The Christmas Train was my first encounter with this author. Overall, I feel it's a great story to dive into when the weather turns cold and the Christmas lights are on.
The Christmas Train has an eclectic cast of characters that each play a vital role in bringing this story to life. With an added element of mystery and a small dash of romance, I couldn't have asked for anyone more for the holiday season. Lovely!
