  Approaching forty, Sophie is dealt a double blow. Already facing a life-altering diagnosis—cancer, a ticking time bomb that allows her only a year left to live—her decade-long marriage abruptly ends. 
  Just as the prospect of navigating her journey alone and the grip of despair seems to take hold, fate intervenes unexpectedly. In what is slated to be her last chemotherapy session, Sophie crosses paths with Lily, a vivacious young girl with an equally grim prognosis. 
  Together, they forge the most unlikely of friendships and find themselves on a life-changing journey. Their mission: to locate the man who might serve as the saviour Lily desperately needs. 
  One Year is a touching story that celebrates the power of friendship, hope and the extraordinary capacity of the human heart to find joy and meaning even in the most challenging circumstances.

  The mythology of the Train, the Railroad, those two shiny tracks running off into the far distance is a powerful symbol of the industrial age. 
   
  The train was the first mass transit system to network the land and to carry people and materials of every class and of every shape.  A sort of democracy with the only requirement of use being the price of a ticket. 
   
  Poets who grew up with this pulsating leviathan of industry were quick to see its merits for their own lines and verse.   
   
  Across these poems comes both an individual eye across a wide range of feelings, thoughts and ideas as well as, occasionally, the trainspotter’s delight for form and detail from poets such as Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas, Edna St Vincent Millay, Damon Runyon and a host of others.
