Book excerpt: Written for both veterans and those considering their first rail journey, this guide is an expansive resource for train travel and the broader world of rail transit in the United States and Canada.

The new edition includes updated information on ticketing procedures, routes, Amtrak's simplified fare structures, and the explosion of railroad-related data such as schedules and ticket purchase options available on the internet. In addition to offering time-tested advice on finding the lowest fares, avoiding pitfalls, packing for an overnight trip, when to board, and whom to tip and how much, the reference presents a number of rail itineraries-from day trips to see the colors of the fall season to lengthy journeys that will take more adventurous travelers around the entire country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I prayed for the orphans every day, almost every waking moment. I envisioned their sweet faces. After two long years, Anna's dream to start an orphanage in Lazy Spring finally came true. The wide white porch was meticulously swept and gray pots overflowing with red and white flowers graced each side of the red front door. The sign above the door simply read Home. Everything seemed perfect until the unthinkable happened, which forced Anna to come to grips with something she couldn't change. Anna, Mrs. McAfee, and the Monroe family return in this third and final book (following The Edge of Nowhere and The Edge of Despair) where Luke and Anna make decisions that not only impact their future but also of everyone in Lazy Spring and Finley Valley. Lazy Spring elects their first mayor, who not only wears a big black cowboy hat but also has an attitude just as big, while Mrs. McAfee welcomes a visit from her niece, Tori, who has experienced a life-changing tragedy. And along the way, Tori and Anna discover they have something very special in common, and together, they search for relief from situations that can't change. But when Emily Lane shows up in Lazy Spring with two orphan children and Luke Monroe finally steals Anna's heart, Anna sets aside her difficulties and focuses on helping not only these orphans but also many more. Love, hope, and restoration abound when faith and commitment overcome the unchangeable.
