Slow Train Coming

About the Book

Gus Bauer was a gifted senior citizen who spent his life stalled in a world of might-have-been. A chance meeting gives him the opportunity to examine his life—past and present—and ultimately takes him in a different direction. Many things happen from that point, some of which he orchestrates, and some of which he has no control over, which serve to help him become a different person than he was. This changes not only him but also many of those around him. It is almost as though the train, which could have arrived much earlier than it eventually did, finally makes it to the station. Hence, the book’s title.
