Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting

Regular commuters tend to keep to themselves, even if they see the same people on the train every day. 57-year-old magazine advice columnist Iona sees nothing wrong with this. She and her dog Lulu take the train without talking to anyone and it suits them well. Until one day a fellow commuter almost chokes on a grape and is rescued by another commuter who happens to be a nurse. It forms a bond for the train car, as the eclectic inhabitants learn talking to strangers just might be worth it after all.
