Toby Devens: Insightful, Engaging ... Moving

Toby Devens has had her work described by Publisher’s Weekly as “wise, witty” and “a distinguished entry to a crowded field.” And although one degree away from Publisher’s Weekly is great, having the endorsement of this wise, witty, and distinguished author is even better.

“Eric D. Goodman gets on board a fictional train from Baltimore to Chicago to tell the compelling stories of passengers taking inner journeys. From the couple who define the beauty of silence, to the last hurrah of a hit man, Tracks is insightful, engaging and, in so many ways, truly moving.”

~Toby Devens,
Author of My Favorite Midlife Crisis (Yet)
