The TRAX series tells a love story. Volumes one through three are set in the boroughs of New York, 1968-72. She was a skinny wisp of a girl, and he was a graduate student at NYU. They drove a Mustang, a Chevy pickup truck, owned two big dogs, and rented a studio in Alphabet City. He was a diamond courier after classes and she worked at the bank. The charm of the book is the events they each recall, and the way the details are remembered-after forty years.

The Real Skinny: "They turned us into Germans for the day..."
The real skinny (according to Girl): Turkey was not in the picture. I was positively a "Ham for Christmas" person. The Robinsons were gracious and generous our first Christmas in New York. They turned us into Germans for the day with a wonderful taste of sauerbraten and other homemade cooking. "Mista" was the correct pronunciation here in New York. Mr. Robinson’s sister was there. She was blonde and much younger than he. It was our first time trying a White Russian. We both have warm thoughts of the generosity and kindnesses expressed to us.
