The Wildwater Walking Club: Walk the Talk (#4) by Claire Cook Pdf

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Must Love Dogs series. “Charming, engagingly quirky, and full of fun, Claire Cook just gets it.”—Meg Cabot “Cook’s poignancy and sassy humor resonate with readers; her theme of reinvention uplifts and inspires.”—Savannah Magazine The truth is most of us know what we should be doing by this point in our lives. The trick is doing it, actually walking that talk. But even for The Wildwater Walking Club, walking the talk is easier said than done when it’s winter in New England and you’re supposed to be rolling out of bed to walk the beach at the crack of dawn. Noreen’s buyout package benefits have run out out, her health coaching business hasn’t exactly taken off yet, and she’s really hoping she can walk her relationship talk with Rick. Rosie is on overload with mom life and too many landscape design plans. Just as Tess is trying to purge and downsize, her borderline adult son boomerangs back. Dashing from the snow to thaw out and reset in a last-minute women’s walking getaway to Savannah might be just what The Wildwater Walking Club friends need to take the next step. Join Noreen, Tess and Rosie on their most inspiring adventure yet. You’ll be lacing up your sneakers and walking your own talk in no time! “Claire Cook is wicked good.”—Jacquelyn Mitchard “The Wildwater Walking Club reminds us of what’s important in life—the joy of friendship, the power of a brisk walk, and of course the importance of a good book. I couldn’t put it down.”—Anisha Lakhani “The women of The Wildwater Walking Club are a delightful trio, full of heart and determination. As they—literally—put one foot in front of the other, the three new friends find unlikely paths that point them toward more fulfilling lives. Their journey left me genuinely inspired.”—Jean Reynolds Page “Claire Cook has an original voice, sparkling style, and a window into family life that will make you laugh and cry.”—Adriana Trigiani “Claire Cook infuses her novels with that sassy kind of offbeat humor that makes you giggle, shake your head, and then keep reading. And isn’t that what you want a beach book to do?” —Florida Today “Readers who enjoy a celebration of friendship will want to walk alongside the Wildwater trio.”—Midwest Book Revie “A beach tote couldn’t ask for more.”—Kirkus “Claire Cook (Must Love Dogs) has built a brand writing light-hearted women’s fiction blending kernels of the absurd and comedic in compulsively readable combinations.”—Shelf Awareness “The Wildwater Walking Club is a quick smart read that will get you thinking about walking, friendship, and making time for the things you love.”—Book Reporter Go to ClaireCook.com for your free gift, 41 Essential Quotes To Get Your Glow On, exclusively for newsletter subscribers.

"The Wildwater Walking Club is a quick smart read that will get you thinking about walking, friendship, and making time for the things you love."— Book Reporter After losing her boyfriend and her job in one fell swoop, Noreen has no idea what her next step is. So she puts on a new pair of sneakers and a seriously outdated pair of exercise pants, and walks. Before long she's joined by two neighbors as lost as she is and figures out time flies and fitness is actually fun when you're walking with friends. Throw in a road trip to Seattle for a lavender festival, a career-coaching group that looks like a bad sequel to The Breakfast Club, some terrific romantic comedy twists and turns, a quirky multigenerational cast of supporting characters, and the result is a tribute to female friendship that will inspire you to pick up the phone and call all your old friends--or maybe even start your own walking group. Join Noreen, Tess and Rosie as they walk and talk, talk and walk, tally their steps, share their secrets, and begin putting their lives back together.

The Wildwater Walking Club by Claire Cook Pdf

“As with the other books in The Wildwater Walking Club series, Step by Step is a wonderful ode to reinvention, to new beginnings, and to friendship more resilient than the rubber sole on a walking shoe. I loved every minute of it.”—Book Perfume Instead of focusing on actually finding some health coach clients, Noreen is dividing her time between sabotaging her relationship with Rick and disaster-fantasizing about ending up living in a tent by the side of the road. Tess is ready to downsize, but can she really figure out how to move on and live small? Rosie is completely overwhelmed with life on the lavender farm, and it doesn’t help matters that Rosie’s dad and Noreen’s mom are conducting most of their romantic interludes at her house. They thought they’d have their lives all figured out by now. But change is blowing in along with the crisp fall air, and they’re finding out that life for 40-to-forever women is not for sissies. Hitting the road again might be just what The Wildwater Walking Club needs. Join Noreen, Tess and Rosie as they walk and talk, talk and walk, share their secrets, and learn to take it step by step. You’ll be lacing up your own sneakers in no time! “The Wildwater Walking Club: Step by Step is a terrific character study, a lesson in the power of positive and honest self-reflection, and, of course, a wise and laugh-provoking look at our human foibles. Claire Cook strikes again.”—Book Reporter From the New York Times, USA Today and international bestselling author of Must Love Dogs, made into a romantic comedy movie starring Diane Lane and John Cusack and now a 7-book series. “A great feel-good story.”—Philadelphia Examiner “Claire Cook (Must Love Dogs) has built a brand writing light-hearted women’s fiction blending kernels of the absurd and comedic in compulsively readable combinations.”— Shelf Awareness “The Wildwater Walking Club is a quick smart read that will get you thinking about walking, friendship, and making time for the things you love.”— BookReporter “Cook’s poignancy and sassy humor resonate with readers; her theme of reinvention uplifts and inspires.” —Savannah Magazine “Readers who enjoy a celebration of friendship will want to walk alongside the Wildwater trio.”—Midwest Book Review “A beach tote couldn’t ask for more.”— Kirkus “Lively and inspiring!”— Hartford Courant “The women of The Wildwater Walking Club are a delightful trio, full of heart and determination.

The Wildwater Walking Club by Claire Cook Pdf

“I packed my bags and joined the adventures of Noreen, Tess, and Rosie as they traveled to Provence. Fragrant lavender fields, rich chocolate, and van Gogh’s artwork came to life, and friendships, stagnant romantic relationships, and quirky family ties are examined in ways that not only made me laugh, but also made me think.”—Beth Hoffman For Noreen, Tess, and Rosie, walking the beach together every day has been everything. But after all those steps forward, they’re doing some serious backsliding. They’ve started dodging each other in the neighborhood, and Noreen is spending time working on pints of Ben & Jerry’s instead of her romance with Rick, the also-lost boyfriend she met at career counseling. A new adventure might be just what they need. Their destination: Provence, the ultimate lavender trip. It turns into the trip of a lifetime, filled with Van Gogh and vineyards, wine and chocolate, plus lavender and more lavender. Join Noreen, Rosie and Tess as they get back on track! “The reason fans love each one of Claire Cook’s books is that every book—fiction and nonfiction—helps readers find ideas that they can use in their lives. Whether it’s a river cruise in France or health coach training, or just learning something new, we all are growing and changing throughout our lives. And that’s wonderful. Readers always learn something from Cook’s books—about life and lifelong learning.”—Pamela Kramer “A great feel-good story.”—Philadelphia Examiner Join The Wildwater Walking Club as they walk and talk, talk and walk, tally their steps, share their secrets, and get their lives back on track again.
