This book, "Miles to Go" by Richard Paul Evans, is a hardcover edition with a dust jacket. It was published in 2011 by Simon & Schuster and is written in English. The book is part of "The Walk Series" and follows the journey of Alan Christoffersen, a once-successful advertising executive who 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 an extraordinary, cross-country journey. Carrying only a backpack, he planned to walk to Key West, the farthest destination on his map. But a vicious roadside stabbing has interrupted Alan’s trek, and robbed him of his one source of solace: the ability to walk.
