Walking Home by Eric Walters

5.0

This book was sent to me by a friend and was a wonderful read. Reading about Muchoki and Jaya’s journey to search for their grandparents constantly had me on the edge of my seat. The fact that everything in this book is inspired by real events is also incredibly interesting as well as educational, and the ability to view pictures and videos, listen to audio clips, etc, alongside the book while reading is an excellent way to help visualize the setting. I have yet to visit the website (www.ericwalterswalkinghome.com) myself, but I plan to browse later and reflect upon my read.

This book made me realize that there can be so many kind people in the world, so many generous people willing to help those who are struggling in seriously unfortunate conditions. All the characters that Muchoki and Jata met throughout their journey were so unique and memorable, and I fell in love with each one.
