Toy Trains (ePub)

Seth Chapman, a troubled teenager at age seventeen, feels like he is in a situation that is unescapable and unavoidable. Although he believes he still has something to partake in in the world, others do not seem to believe this. His attention-seeking girlfriend nags at him to give up, to kill himself; his father, dependent on alcohol, blames Seth for the death of his mother and reminds him of his "mistake" everyday by physical abuse.

On the other end of the spectrum lies Grace Thomas, one of the many lucky students who get to attend Rosebud Preparatory, a high school strictly designed for teenagers with talents. Although it is Grace's lyrical writing that grants her recognition, she has another talent that most people can't see-helping the lost and the depressed. She has met many people who wanted to end their lives, but not one as mysterious and eye boggling like Seth Chapman.

On the very day, at the very moment, Seth runs away from his disastrous home to end it all and kill himself, he crosses paths with Grace Thomas in a miraculous, unbelievable way. While trying to help Seth, Grace falls for him and he falls for her. The two teenagers begin a journey of self-healing, love, and hope, a journey that defeats the impossible. During their journey, each learns a lesson from the other. For Grace, she learns even the unfixable can be fixed. For Seth, he learns that there is hope in even the darkest of situations and that hope is a beautiful thing.
