Description
Summary:"After the death of his beloved wife, after the loss of his advertising business to his once-trusted partner, after bankruptcy forced him from his home, Alan Christoffersen's daring cross-country journey -- a walk across American from Seattle to Key West, with only the pack on his back -- has taught him lessons about love, sacrifice, and forgiveness. Now Alan faces yet another seemingly unbearable crisis, one that threatens to upend his entire world again just as he had begun to heal from so much loss, and he is unsure whether he can continue toward his goal. It will take the care and support of a new friend -- and the unexpected reappearance of an old one -- for Alan to find the determination he needs to continue to Key West, where he hopes to end his journey and begin a new life."--Book jacket.
