The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (Harold Fry, #1)

by Rachel Joyce

“Just a question of putting one foot in front of the other. But it never ceases to amaze me how difficult the things that are supposed to be instinctive really are.”

He understood that in walking to atone for the mistakes he had made, it was also his journey to accept the strangeness of others.

The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other; and a life might appear ordinary simply because the person living it had been doing so for a long time. Harold could no longer pass a stranger without acknowledging the truth that everyone was the same, and also unique; and that this was the dilemma of being human.
