The Traveling Cane & The Art of Gratitude
(2025)(A book in the Traveling Cane series)
A Story by Lala Corriere
Have you enjoyed my travels? Welcome to my final collection of journeys. Great challenges await—both for me and those I serve. You’ll see. In the end, I find my perfect forever home, and I’ll stay in your heart always!
Piper has every reason to rage against the world. A rare tornado tore through the sky, dropping a tractor onto her, crushing her lower body. She’s lost the ability to walk, her marriage is unraveling, and her ranch is slipping away. How can she possibly find gratitude?
In Chicago, a celebrated artist wrestles with the guilt of losing his leg—and his best friend. One reckless decision to ski out of bounds cost his friend’s life. I was there to help him walk again, but his real battle was far greater. His unhinged ex-girlfriend wasn’t content to lurk in the shadows; she invaded their lives with violent threats. He had to regain his footing—fast.
Dylan knew there’d be no miracle. His aggressive Parkinson'''s was a slow descent with no return. In his tranquil Estes Park cabin, surrounded by bugling elk, kind neighbors, and the joyful rhythm of his steel band, he found love and laughter. But when news of his imminent death spread, greed followed. Even I wondered—how would he find gratitude as his days dwindled?
Then, in the smallest town I could imagine in Southern Arizona, I met Oscar Lake. A lifetime with polio had shaped him, his quiet days spent writing, illustrating children’s books, and mentoring young protégés. Big cities wield social media like a weapon, but small towns can destroy just as swiftly with gossip. Accusations flew, and Oscar, ill-equipped to weather the storm, faced a choice: fight for his place in the town he loved—or leave.
I am the Traveling Cane. A companion to those in need, arriving in the right place, at the right time.
The luckiest cane alive!
Join me for one final journey. The challenges are greater than ever—even life itself hangs in the balance. Yet, my friends discover gratitude, every single one of them.
Don’t hesitate to buy—this is the grand farewell of the Traveling Cane trilogy. But don’t be sad. I’ll remain in your heart forever!
