Publisher's Summary
An unlikely pilgrim battles agoraphobia to reclaim life beyond the sofa. The 800-kilometer journey along the Camino Frances provides a scenic backdrop to ponder midlife crisis and chronic illness, an empty nest and marital discord, military service and post-traumatic stress, rage and grief, heartbreak and fear - and the way forward.
El Camino de Santiago, known fondly as "The Way", is a matrix of trails with starting points across Europe leading to the sacred relics of Saint James the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Often considered a Catholic pilgrimage, this ancient route predates Christianity. The Way continues to evolve, attracting spiritual seekers with and without religion, thru-hikers, fitness junkies, history buffs, and the curious.
Armed with humor, grit, and a backpack named Little Agnus, Lockhart tackles emotional and physical obstacles, shares adventures with pilgrims from all over the world, mothers traveling teens, endures blisters and bicycle seats, and embraces the glory of Mother Nature and the intrinsic spirituality of peregrination. She finds herself transcending from a human being on a spiritual quest to a spiritual being on a human quest.

From A Fellow Peregrina
I have walked three caminos and loved each one. This book sounds true to my own experiences. I didn’t stay in any paradors but plan to next Camino. There are many interactions similar to mine. Meeting pilgrims and spending time in albergues and pubs all were very interesting. I made friends who I’ve kept in touch with since my travels. And like Codie, I discovered that the villages all offer different surprises. You can’t go wrong listening to this book. The author offers her own demons which she tries to deal with along the many paths under a blanket of stars.
