From the back:

"Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to LA in time for Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country because of a slight misunderstanding at airport security, he begins a journey of self-discovery and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic.

Tom has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, where he will rediscover people's essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost.

In equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful and thrilling, The Christmas Train is a delightful journey filled with memorable characters who have packed their bags with as much wisdom as mischief... Part detective story, part disaster movie, part romance, this is a brilliant, heart-warming holiday tale."

From the book recycling shelf in Kamppi. Can't resist stories about journalists (I'm one too) nor Christmas.

This is a light, feel-good read. Amusing enough :)

This book was hiding behind window number 7 in the Finnish bookcrossers' advent calendar - and it was won by dotdot. Congratulations and happy holidays!

Thank you, Annimanni:) The Christmas Train arrived.
