Review: The Road to Grace (Walk #3) by Richard Paul Evans

5 stars for The Road to Grace (Walk book 3) by Richard Paul Evans.

The Road to Grace is the third journal detailing the walk of Alan Christoffersen, a cross-country walk spanning Seattle to Key West, Florida, the farthest walkable distance on his map (without swimming); a walk Alan decides to take on after he loses his wife, his business, his house and cars, to go in search of life's meaning.

Ultimately, it is not the destination that matters but the journey and the people that Alan meets along the way that gives meaning and hope to his walk. Even though the folks Alan meets are but passing clouds during his trek, these persons are crucial moments of experience for Alan to come to terms with the loss of his beloved wife, and to accept what he must live without. Besides the spiritual and emotional aspects, the author also takes good care to include plenty of colourful and detailed descriptions of the places touched by Alan's pilgrimage. This versatility not only makes reading of Alan's walk interesting, thought-provoking and touching (to the point where I am on the brink of tears), it definitely serves to widen my horizon as well.

Home is never a place but where the heart is. Simple yet exquisitely well written and smooth flowing, book 3 of the Walk series is a story within stories of hope, second chances and forgiveness; an engaging story from the beginning right to the end.

The Road to Grace is the third installment of Richard’s bestselling series, The Walk, the ongoing story of one man’s unrelenting search for hope. Reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, his home, and his business, Alan Christoffersen, a once successful advertising executive, has left everything he knew behind and set off on an extraordinary cross-country journey. Carrying only a backpack, he plans to walk to Key West, the farthest destination on his map.

Now nearly halfway through his trek, The Road to Grace takes him from South Dakota to St. Louis, Missouri. Alan covers more than 800 miles on foot, but it’s the people he meets along the way who give the journey its true meaning.

Full of wisdom and hard-won truth, this is a moving standalone story as well as the continuation of the unforgettable series about hope, healing, and the meaning of life.
