Pottersfield Prize Second
for
Walking The Camino: On Earth As It Is
Now in its second printing.
Nestled in the quiet embrace of her woodland refuge on Salt Spring Island, Canada, Gabriel finds herself standing at the intersection of sorrow and
self-discovery. With the legacy of her mother’s death weighing heavily on her heart, she sets forth alone from Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port, France, embarking on an 800-kilometer journey.
This narrative isn't just a chronicle—it's an intimate exploration of the soul, a pilgrimage through the captivating landscapes of the Camino, where every step is a dance between grief and renewal.”
““What would it be like to be there? To meet fellow pilgrims? To interact with the Spanish culture? What would my inner process be as I walked in the steps of seekers from over the centuries? A walk of reverence surely, for walking the Camino to Santiago is sacred firmament.”
