This was my first Katherine Center book and it did not disappoint! I loved the character of Maggie and her story of going through tragedy and losing pretty much everything to literally (and metaphorically) learning to walk from her hopelessness and self-pity to a whole new version of herself and a life she would have never imagined- had it not been for tragedy and trials she endured. Center's characters come to life in this story and the interactions and development of relationships with her sister, new love interest, fiancé, family, and herself are fascinating to witness over the course of the novel. Readers who enjoy a well written story with believable characters and themes of overcoming tragedy and obstacles (with a healthy dose of humor and optimism), will surely take delight in reading "How to Walk Away."
