A Thousand Steps

By Dinesh Deckker

How do you begin again when everything is gone?

After losing his job, his wife, and his sense of purpose, David Mercer sets out to walk across the country with nothing but a backpack and a notebook. No plan. No destination. Just one step forward at a time.

Along the road, he meets strangers with their own stories-a homeless veteran, a grieving gardener, a runaway teen, and a bridge-walker who saves lives without speaking. Each encounter becomes a mirror, each mile a meditation.

As David walks through storms, silences, and moments of grace, he discovers that healing doesn't come all at once. Sometimes, it comes in fragments-through stillness, sorrow, and unexpected connection.

A Thousand Steps is a deeply emotional novel about grief, redemption, and what it truly means to come home-not just to a place, but to yourself.

For readers who love heartfelt journeys, quiet transformation, and stories that stay with you long after the last page.
