Why read it?
2 authors picked How to Walk Away as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book made me ugly cry but it was so worth it. Katherine Center has away at tugging at my emotions and making me full invested in the characters' lives. I couldn't stop reading (or crying) and I'll remember this book for a very long time.
Sometimes you hear about someone who’s experienced something truly terrible, and you think two things in quick succession: “Thank God that’s not me” and “How can anyone possibly recover from that?” Some people who find themselves contemplating the unthinkable—like, say, instant and permanent paralysis, as the main character of How to Walk Away—sink into bitterness, wallowing in their victimhood.
But some rise to meet the challenge and find richness and joy and a meaning to life that they didn’t even know they were missing.
That’s this book. It’s heartbreaking and inspiring and absolutely gorgeous.
From Kathleen's list on finding beauty in the crap life throws at you.
