ABOUT
Leaving my forest home on Salt Spring Island, Canada, I set out from Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port, France. From a bomb scare in Paris, to strangers with messages, a fellowship of fun, lightening up, and letting go, this is my walk into the mystery that is the mother-daughter relationship and the chaos it instilled. For you see, I promised myself I could never go back to the way things were.
A raw account of one inner alchemy, this book is for anyone searching for renewal in life’s transitions, or curious about the Camino and the transformative power of pilgrimage.
