This book was about a man's journey (at what seems is the latter part of his life) and how he faces his life & its secrets and lies after so many years. He has received a letter that a coworker is dying & he asks her to wait for him as he walks the 600 miles, willing her to live till he gets there. Harold encounters his past and the ghosts that kept him bound and by the time his journey is over, he truly has arrived at himself and the truth of his life. He learns acceptance of himself and others and begins to truly live by the end of the story. This book carried me through emotions with Harold & his journey and I'm left feeling encouraged to face life and accept what I cannot change.

This was a unique story, both humorous and heartbreaking. It is a journey in more ways than one that leaves us pondering our own past, present and future. Bittersweet, but inspiring.

I really loved this book!! It was engaging from the beginning pages & a very different & touching story of this man's journey. At times it did seem a little far-fetched but it didnt' matter. It was a quick read, hard to put down. It wasn't until the end that the meaning behind his journey was revealed.
