D.C. Moses' TRAIN FROM THOMPSONVILLE to Be Showcased at 2015 Frankfurt Book Fair

Author D.C. Moses will be featuring her novel, "Train from Thompsonville" (published by Trafford Publishing), at the 2015 Frankfurt Book Fair. The book follows a Polish family in upstate New York from the 1930s to the 1950s.

The fair will be held from 14-18 October, 2015, and will showcase books from around the world. Authors, publishers, agents and readers will be present to share in open discussion about literature.

"Train from Thompsonville" follows the Ludak family - immigrants from Poland - who are living in a factory town, dealing with unemployment and class and ethnic hostility. For Joanna Ludak, a teenager, life proves to be often adventurous and jubilant, but sometimes terrifying.

Joanna's coming-of-age as a Polish-Catholic, blue-collar, scrubbed-but-culturally-hobbled youngster is a riveting fictional odyssey of painful confrontations, growing friendships with an array of varied minority persons and first love across class barriers.

A judge of the 18th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards called Moses' book, "A beautifully-written coming of age story, reminiscent in its quiet descriptions of the universal anxiety and agony of late childhood of the work of W. Somerset Maugham."
