Joseph Koot, of Dorchester Cape, recently released Europe, One Step at a Time, which describes his 6000-km (post-retirement) hike across Europe.

This book complements his childhood memoir Looking for Bill, Finding Myself. His childhood led to the hike and the hike helped him come to terms with his childhood.
Both books are available at Tidewater Books (Sackville) and Read’s Newsstand (Moncton and Riverview).
