Following the New York Times bestseller The Road to Grace, Richard Paul Evans's hero Alan Christoffersen faces a life-changing crisis on his journey of redemption and faith.
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 is a broken man. Leaving everything he knows, he sets out on an extraordinary cross-country walk from Seattle to Key West-the end of the map.
Along the way, Alan begins to heal, meeting people who teach him lessons about forgiveness, second chances, and love. But in St. Louis, Alan faces another life-changing crisis-a turning point that tests his faith and reveals the meaning of personal growth and redemption.
