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.

This book was a gift and being a little familiar with Tekoa Manning I was so thrilled to receive it. She is a gifted story teller anyway, but Walter and the crew in 'Walter' tell unique and yet interwoven stories that will have you wishing the story would never end. I can't let out any spoilers, but just to say that we judge too quickly, wrap our own emotions in our faulty opinions and might even have to learn lessons the hard way!! Each chapter keeps you moving...you may end up binge reading because the stories are so great. Kudos to this author and heartfelt gratitude that I was able to receive this fine book as a gift!
Loved this book. Didn't want to put it down! A good reminder to never judge outward appearance!
Tekoa Manning does a wonderful job of bringing all the characters to life. The characters are all well developed and each one is done so well, I could see glimpses of myself in each of them.
Cliff hangers from chapter to chapter leave you unable to put the book down. I strongly recommend you dive in and enjoy this excellent novel.
Great book, easy read. The pages flew by. Many lessons taught here!
Tekoa does a wonderful job of bringing all the characters to life and letting you know how they feel as they deal with sorrow, pain, loss, and eventually closure. Cliff hangers from chapter to chapter leave you unable to put the book down. I strongly recommend you dive in and enjoy this excellent novel.
