On The Rails, The Adventures Of Boxcar Bertie

Once again authors, Rosemary and Larry Mild, bring you an exciting adventure, a fictional story of a young and frisky woman wrestling to survive life's obstacles. On the Rails, a Boxcar Bertie Adventure, takes you to a trying time and unique rich milieu no longer in existence. What's a woman to do? Bertie Pachet has just graduated from "normal" school to become a grammar school teacher, but the year is 1936, and the country is smack dab in the middle of the Great Depression. Employment is near impossible for everyone, let alone for a single inexperienced female, and going home is an ugly option to be avoided. She must get away, but travel without an income presents her with a major problem. Bertie dresses like a man and turns to hopping railway boxcars to make her escape to better opportunities. A female "hobo," unheard of! It's a man's world, so how can she maneuver about in this male atmosphere fraught with risk, obstacles, danger, and loss?
