The Missing Book | The Walkers Ep7

The Salt Pathwas the supposed bestseller debut book by Raynor Winn, selling millions worldwide. So when two more sequels came along with increasingly bold claims on reversing a terminal illness, why did the publisher Penguin not question it more?  Chloe also goes on the hunt for Raynor Winn’s fourth  book…her true debut written years before The Salt Path.
