Miles to go / Evans, Richard Paul

"Alan Christoffersen, a once-successful advertising executive, wakes one morning to find himself injured, alone, and confined to a hospital bed in Spokane, Washington. Sixteen days earlier, reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, his home, and his business, Alan left everything he knew behind and set off on the cross-country journey of a lifetime. But a vicious roadside stabbing has interrupted Alan's trek and robbed him of his one source of solace: the ability to walk. Homeless and facing months of difficult recovery, Alan has nowhere to turn-- until a mysterious woman enters his life and invites him into her home."--P. [4] of cover.

Alan Christoffersen, attacked and left to die on the road only sixteen days into his cross-country trek to Key West, wakes in a Spokane, Washington, hospital to realize that he has not only lost his wife, home, and business, but has now been deprived of the ability to walk, and he accepts a generous offer to recuperate at the home of a mysterious woman named Angel, who he learns needs some help along her journey, too.
