Help!
I have a patron that is looking for a book that was new around 1990 -
1993. It is a novel with a metaphysical bend...called something like
'The Walk' or 'The Path'. It is about a man that is told to quit his job
and start walking. (She thinks its an inner voice that tells him to do
this.) He does quit and begins to walk the earth. People join him ...
some of these people are healed by joining him: lost teeth grow back,
glasses no longer needed, etc. Ring any bells? If anybody can figure
this out, it's you wonderful Fic-L folks!
Thanks in advance!!!
