What would you do if you lost everything — your job, your home, and the love of your life — all at the same time? When it happens to Seattle ad executive Alan Christoffersen, he's tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not any ordinary walk. Taking with him only the barest of essentials, Al leaves behind all that he's known and heads for the farthest point on his map: Key West, Florida. The people he encounters along the way, and the lessons they share with him, will save his life — and inspire yours.
Richard Paul Evans's extraordinary New York Times bestsellers have made him one of the world's most beloved storytellers. A life-changing journey, both physical and spiritual, The Walk is the first of an unforgettable series of books about one man's search for hope.I enjoyed the walk through my home state. On a recent visit we traveled along much of Al's path. I could visualize many of the towns he mentioned. Very touching story of real challenges we face in this experience we call life.
A story of life, loss, and hope. I absolutely love it! It took only minutes to become involved with the principals of this funny, sweet, sad, and thought provoking story. Can't wait for book 2!
It was a good book but slightly unbelievable. I did enjoy it anyway. We read this for book club and I will probably read the rest of the series as well. I'd like to know what happens to this man.
