    This book is one of my 10 favorite books that I have ever read and to quote Janet Maslin of the New York Times, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry “is not just a book about lost love.  It is about all the wonderful everyday things Harold discovers through the mere process of putting one foot in front of the other”.  Donated by Joyce Cotton.
