Walk to Walden Hill update

Wow.  Finished this book back in...April of 2010?

The Walk to Walden Hill is the story of a young man (Josh) who has lived much of his life in the foster care system as a result of a fatal car accident that killed his mother.  Josh's father survived the accident but had to serve time in prison.  Josh lived most of his childhood and adolescent, angry at his father for the life he had lived without a "real" family.

Across road from the foster home, set in rural Alabama, lived an old man, Paul Walden, who took on the task of helping redirect  a lost boy.  Through many mishaps and disasters, Mr. Walden uses his own life's lessons and imprints them on Josh, revealing a truth that most Christians know all to well, but have difficulty grasping--FORGIVENESS.  Mr. Walden leads Josh on a mysterious quest, to learn how to forgive, how to love and how to find a piece of himself and his past--all on the "Walk to Walden Hill"

Im sure, I could have come up with a better description.  This is just right off the top of my head.

I will post a few more background stories regarding the background of the book, on later dates.  Im looking forward to blogging some of the specifics along with ideas for future books.
