Walt Johnson is a drifter, going from town to town across America. Late in life, with his health declining, he starts on a journey to reconnect with his son in Kentucky. Before he reaches the state line he stops in a small town that reminds him of the places of his childhood; a town whose people show him the meaning of family. The characters at the heart of this story are a young boy grieving the loss of his father, the boys' mother a waitress in the town's diner, and the owner of the diner who befriends Walt. It is a very moving story full of nostalgia and homespun lessons on love and loss. My only complaint was that it needed some more editing to polish it into the gem it could be. The story alone is 4 stars. I received a complimentary copy of this e-book in exchange for a review.
