About this title

Synopsis

Racing Light tells about events which inspire us to surpass all expectations.

Four long hikes, 180 days, 9,886,500 footsteps, 12 pairs of shoes, 470 photographs, a glimpse of enlightenment, and a taste of immortality. Willdlife encounters, angels, demons, mean streets, and signs in the sky. Injury, illness, and healing.
All this began when Trica asked Charlie to walk her dog Stella. Nobody dreamed that he would later complete a solitary walk of the North American east coast. Nobody except, perhaps, for Stella. Find out what inspired this ordinary walker, and imagine your own dreams emerging, step by step.
Feel the exhilaration, the drudgery, and inevitability of this remarkable long walk, as presented in the Photo-Diary format specially developed for this book.
