Alan Christoffersen has walked thousands of miles across America, carrying only his backpack and the weight of devastating losses. His wife died. His business partner betrayed him. Bankruptcy stripped away his home. The long journey from Seattle toward Key West has slowly taught him about forgiveness and hope. But just as Alan begins to heal, another crisis forces him to turn west again. This new threat could destroy the fragile peace he has built through months of walking and reflection. The end of his journey to Key West feels uncertain now. Alan must rely on a new friend's love and an old friend's wisdom to finally release his grip on past pain. Only then can he discover whether he has the strength to embrace life again. This fifth installment in Evans's Walk series brings Alan's transformative trek to its emotional climax as he learns that reaching his destination means more than just arriving at a place.
