The Walk

I read this for an inspirational story prompt as it came up under a Google search. I found it more sad than anything else. He doesn't even finish his walk in this story. Not sure if I'll carry on and read the next books if not.

This was such a sad, sad story. I cannot imagine going though those things and well, wanting to get through it. Alan had a beautiful wife, his own ad company, a nice home and suddenly it was all gone. He decided to go on a walk, a long walk, across the whole continent. He set his sites to a place over 3,000 miles away. As he walked he did a lot of thinking and met some people who gave him more to think about. He doesn't finish his walk by the end of the book because something happened that required him to take a break. The book seems to end abruptly but it is the first in a series. It definitely gives a person plenty flood for thought. I'm glad I finally read it.

I had so many people recommend this to me that I gladly checked it out when I found a copy at my church's library. It's a quick read, and the first half is difficult because it's so sad. But I ended up really enjoying it!
It's a hard book to give a review on it, for several reasons. But I definitely will be checking out the rest of the series in the future.
