Walk Beside Me – the Book
Walk Beside Me is the story of one woman’s journey from a world of labels and superficiality to a far richer world of friendship, loyalty, and love. Willow Adair the picture-perfect life – or so it seems. A stunning model-turned-wife-and-mother, she lives in a beautiful home with her husband and two kids in historic Bexley, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Cleveland, Ohio.
On the outside, she has everything. On the inside, she struggles with issues of self-worth.
Spurned by her neglectful husband and hated by her rebellious teen daughter, Willow never feels she is good enough. She fears everyone she loves will leave. Piece by piece, the cornerstones of Willow’s life begin to crumble. A routine colon operation goes horribly wrong,
leaving her bleeding and alone on the long road to recovery. A yoga injury leads to a series of surgeries and misdiagnoses, ultimately ending in a full wrist fusion and permanent loss of motion in her right arm. Willo thinks she hasn’t suffered enough: Willow is diagnosed with breast cancer. Convinced that no one will stand by her for one more day of sickness and depressions, she prepares to end her life.
That’s where the Angels come in.
Willow’s friends are a tour de force. They go with her to chemo, come and sleep over at her house. Willow’s guardians lift her spirits when she is sad, and they weep with her when she is hurting. Her angels walk beside her quite literally, on sidewalks from Cleveland to Miami. The heavenly helpers walk beside Willow both spiritually and emotionally, soothing her heartache, healing her self-esteem, and reminding her that every single minute of her life is abundantly worth living.
Walk Beside Me is a tale of sickness and triumph, of being comfortable in your own skin, of valuing the things that have true value, and of learning to fight for yourself and what you truly want. It’s the story of a woman who peels away the layers to find her inner warrior, a woman who faces insurmountable odds and – thanks to her earthly Angels – learns to treasure the gift of God’s infinite light and love.
