"The Walk" by Richard Paul Evans

"...Procrastination is the thief of dreams"

"I have decided on a destination; the path is but detail"

.....are just a couple of the awesome quotes that Mr Evans put in the beginning of each chapter.

This book fooled me as being a tragedy: it promised that it was about a man who lost everything (his job, his house, his car, and his lifetime love) all at the same time. What I wasn't prepared for was the grieving process he chose to take part in; very unconventional. This is an inspiring book, it made me realize what I have and what I am missing out on---which is NOTHING that can be purchased no matter the dollar amount I may acquire.

I'm not one for sappy happy endings or a road full of sunshine and roses, this book offered much by way of heartache and tears and many "you have got to be kidding me, what more can this guy go through" but it was in a good way.

I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I loved it and if I was capable of reading books more than once (I cannot do it, I remember each book I have ever read. Not the titles, the stories with every detail) this book would be the one I would read over and over!!!
