Summer Reading Book Review - The Walk by Richard Paul Evans

As evidenced in his best selling novels, once again Richard Paul Evans demonstrates his skill as an exemplary storyteller. In the first of this series, he introduces us to Alan Christoffersen, a man on a desperate search for hope. In this story, Alan has lost everything most important to him - his wife, his business and his home all within a very short period of time. Finding life unbearable, he is tempted to end his own, but instead, haunted by his wife's plea to live, he decides instead to take a walk, heading for the farthest point on his map. On his journey he encounters many people and lessons that have a profound impact on his life and provide inspiration and hope for his future. A memorable read that has left me looking forward to book 2 of The Walk series coming in April 2011.
