Two Steps Forward is a 2017 novel by Australian husband and wife novelists Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist.

The novel follows two dissimilar people, Zoe and Martin, as their paths cross during a 2000 kilometre walk on the Camino de Santiago.

Martin Eden is a British Engineer who is making the same journey to prove the design of a cart which he has invented as an alternative to backpacks.

[3] Fox Searchlight optioned the movie rights to Two Steps Forward in August, 2017, two months prior to publication of the book[4] with Ellen DeGeneres and Jeff Kleeman to produce through their company A Very Good Production.

Books and Publishing called it ‘a feel-good, mature romance that explores what we need to let go of to move forward’.
