The Darkest Path Summary & Tough Questions

In my book The Darkest Path has made escaped and made it Wyoming.  He meets Wade a survivor with a child who has been hiding.  Cal asks Wade for help but Wade instead traps Cal inside a basement.  Cal is starved and dehydrated but Wade's child comes down into the basement and talks to Cal.  Wade tells Cal that he's going to turn him into the Path.  Cal begs Wade to let him go and eventually Cal holds Wade at gunpoints and escapes.  Cal drives Wade's truck and he gets out with Bear and keeps walking to New York.  Cal meets a group of teenagers armed with weapons and they take Cal hostage and tell him to help them.


The Darkest Path's characters are plagued with tough questions.  Cal's tough question is whether or not he should go to New York.  Many people think it's insane because of how far it is.  Cal thinks his family is still alive but he has to go great length just to make it over there.  No matter what people say Cal still wants to go to New York.
