The anthology would feature short stories (approx. 10k) that all begin at New York's Grand Central Station on the very same date, just after World War II has ended. This year's 100th anniversary of Grand Central has kindled a new interest not just in the beautiful building itself but also in the millions of people that have passed through the cavernous hallways and turnstiles; along with their stories. This anthology shines a spotlight on a moment of great power and possibility when the war was over; and the world was about to be changed-forever. Authors include 10 popular authors of women's fiction- Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us Sarah Jio, New York Times bestselling author of Blackberry Winter Pam Jenoff, bestselling author of The Ambassador's Daughter Alyson Richman, bestselling author of The Lost Wife Amanda Hodgkinson, New York Times bestselling author of 22 Britannia Road Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Aviator's Wife Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of After the Rain Sarah McCoy, bestselling author of The Baker's Daughter Erika Robuck, critically acclaimed author of Hemingway's Girl Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of Bridge of Scarlet Leaves Also, writing the introduction- Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Home Front Ten bestselling authors inspired by New York City's iconic Grand Central Terminal have created their own stories, set on the same day, just after the end of World War II, in a time of hope, uncertainty, change, and renewal....

On any particular day, thousands upon thousands of people pass through Grand Central, through the whispering gallery, beneath the ceiling of stars, and past the information booth and its beckoning four-faced clock, to whatever destination is calling them. It is a place where people come to say hello and good-bye. And each person has a story to tell.
