The Walk: A Novel Overview
"My name is Alan Christoffersen. You don’t know me. ‘Just another book in the library,’ my father would say. ‘Unopened and unread.’ You have no idea how far I’ve come or what I’ve lost. More important, you have no idea what I’ve found." —Prologue
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.
Customer Reviews
Just read what you expect - but it's worth. When Alan loses everything important to him - his wife and the life he has built with her - it just goes away from it all. It may sound crazy, but who did not wish they could simply walk away from their troubles? Alan began his unspeakable pain on the road to recovery. There's really nothing new message, but in a way that the reader do to Alan and have all the McKale roles - were submitted by friendswere children, then married and started living his dream. Suddenly, everything is taken away, and Alan deals with his grief in a new way - begins to walk. Along the way he meets people affected him in unexpected ways, and he gradually begins to leave the pain behind and look ahead. The first of a series, I look to the next Alan met. This book reminds us that we all live in the present, and make sure the people we meet. Usnever know who is waiting to teach us something.
