Miles to Go by Richard Paul Evans


 Miles to Go  by Richard Paul Evans  320 pages

Alan Christoffersen, a once-successful advertising executive, wakes one morning to find himself injured, alone, and confined to a hospital bed in Spokane, Washington. Sixteen days earlier, reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, his home, and his business, Alan left everything he knew behind and set off on the cross-country journey of a lifetime. But a vicious roadside stabbing interrupted Alan's trek and robbed him of his one source of solace: the ability to walk. Homeless and facing months of difficult recovery, Alan has nowhere to turn--until a mysterious woman enters his life and invites him into her home.

An astonishing tale of life and death, suffering and healing, love and second chances, Miles to Go picks up the story of The Walk, continuing this unforgettable bestselling series about one man's unrelenting search for hope.


I read The Walk, not knowing it was a series.  When the book ended I was sad because I wanted to know what happened to him. So I was very excited to find the next book and now know that it is a series.  This story picks up after Alex has decided to walk across America after losing everything.  He was attacked and assumed for dead.  This book tells of his story of recovery and where he picks up on his walk, the people he meets along and the way and how he helps them and they help him. Very easy read and a page turned to find out what he will encounter next.

My Secret by Frank Warren

My Secret by Frank Warren, 144 pages

My Secret contains postcards written by teens and college students to the author with their deepest, darkest secrets.  This is the first secret book I have read.  Apparently, it is quite a movement, as there are several books and a website devoted to people's secrets.  Frank Warren started this project in 2005, shortly after his wife committed suicide.
