Welcome to Litsy!

For fans of literary classics such as The Catcher in the Rye and The Perks of Being a Wallflower comes a stirring new thought-provoking novel from debut author Sam Miller about a loss shrouded in mystery with twists and turns down every railway. Arthur Louis Pullman the Third is on the verge of a breakdown. He�s been stripped of his college scholarship, is losing his grip on reality, and has been sent away to live with his aunt and uncle. It�s there that Arthur discovers a journal written by his grandfather, the first Arthur Louis Pullman, an iconic Salinger-esque author who went missing the last week of his life and died hundreds of miles away from their family home. What happened in that week�and how much his actions were influenced by his Alzheimer�s�remains a mystery. But now Arthur has his grandfather�s journal�and a final sentence containing a train route and a destination. So Arthur embarks on a cross-country train ride to relive his grandfather�s last week, guided only by the clues left behind in the dementia-fueled journal. As Arthur gets closer to uncovering a sad and terrible truth, his journey is complicated by a shaky alliance with a girl who has secrets of her own and by escalating run-ins with a dangerous Pullman fan base. Arthur�s not the only one chasing a legacy�and some feel there is no cost too high for the truth.
