Review: This is a pretty original idea for book. This book brings to light what could possibly happen, along with the struggles involved, in being married to {having a family member within your home} that has an almost compulsive disorder.
Tim will just walk. He gets compelled to start walking and he leaves everything and cuts off contact with everyone to do just that. It can be hours or even weeks. Then comes the call to pick him up and who can ever be certain as to where his pickup will be. The weather doesn't affect this thought to simply just walk.
Joshua explores the mind and human limitations as well as a search for a cure through this book.
I found my brain working a lot on this one for some reason. So, I'd recommend this for one of those times that you're in the mood for a thought provoking read.
