About the title
Lou Clark knows how many steps it is from the bus stop to her house. She knows that she really likes her job at the café and that she probably doesn't love her boyfriend Patrick. But Lou doesn't know that she's about to lose her job, and that in the near future she'll need all her strength to overcome the problems about to hit her. Will Traynor knows that the motorcyclist who hit him took away his will to live. And he knows exactly what he needs to do to put an end to it all. But he doesn't know that Lou will soon burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows that they will change each other's lives forever.
