A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins

5.0

This book was about so much more than Peter Jenkins' walk across the country. Since it took place in 1974, I wasn't sure if there would be much connection, but honestly, it made it even better. Reading Peter's story that took place in a time when America was a simpler, more honest place. If Peter had taken this walk today, 38 years later, would the results be the same? No, I think not. He would not be welcomed with open arms, he would not receive homes and free food and make friends and family the way he did back then. And more than that, the story is not just about Peter's journey across America, it's about his own personal journey and the things he is looking for. Faith, family, friendship, and love... and all these things we can find right here in our own country. I laughed, cried, and I really just couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.
