2024 Independent Press Award Distinguished Favorite.

Sixty-seven-year-old Walter Kendal isn't your typical homeless man. He wears London Fog and is accompanied by a pet homing pigeon named Jackie. Walter had a home, a career, and a wife he adored, until Alzheimer’s took her memory and then her mind. Heartbroken and unable to care for the woman who no longer knew his name, Walter walks away from everything including his own children. With only his loyal homing pigeon for company, he becomes a wanderer—unseen, misunderstood, and judged.
After fleeing devastating personal events, Walter is accused of a crime he did not commit. Now a fugitive on the run, Walter sleeps under the stars at night but during the day enters a young widow's home for shelter while she is at work and changes not only her life but every life he touches.

Multiple characters with shattered lives come together and find hope through faith and redemption. Walter is a suspenseful, meaningful Christian novel built around a dynamic person. Walter will become more than a fictional character; he will become a dear friend.
