His father dies, suddenly of a heart attack and leaves Sam with some pretty convoluted instructions for his last wishes.

His father leaves a series of letters detailing where he wants some of his ashes to be dispersed so he can always be a part of that place. But there is more to it. There lies a secret message within each letter which Sam must figure out.

Is he able to decipher his father's parting message? What will he find along the way that his father so desired?… (mehr)

Sam Holmes, a young enthusiastic schoolteacher is tasked with scattering the ashes of his father following the reading of his father’s last will and testament. In the process he runs a marathon, becomes involved in a union dispute and meets a young woman Rachel Parker, who brings direction, clarity, and companionship to Sam’s lonely life. A well constructed novel illustrating the highest aspirations or ideals of persevering through the physical challenge of a marathon while overcoming the challenges that life brings to everyone in so many ways. This is an inspiring book and I’ve no hesitation in awarding it 4 stars.
