Secrets of the Salt Path

Available for over a year

The Salt Path begins with tragic news. Moth may only have a few years to live. Faced with such devastating news, the couple set out to walk the path. It’s a neat tale, that sets the stage for Moth’s miraculous recovery. But is it really possible for someone with corticobasal syndrome degeneration to walk 630 miles?
