Walking with Awareness is an excellent memoir chronicling his daughter’s struggles with addiction. The two of them take off to spend three weeks walking the Appalachian Trail. It is late March, too early for the season. They are not correctly prepared, but determined. Together they walk on, through difficulties, readjusting as needed. Throughout the journey they meet people who help them and teach them what they need to know. This inspires a philosophy for living. As they journey, Timothy Shuttle reflects on Rose’s addiction and how it has affected the family. The chapters vary from the trail, to the family history. It is well written, easy to follow and full of practical, thoughtful advice on living a good life. It truly shows how addiction is a family disease, that affects each member, as well as the suffering addict. Recommended.
