"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.
