FINDING LOVE ON THE CAMINO

“From the unique perspective of a highly experienced Camino Tour guide, this book looks at something that is not often openly discussed on a pilgrimage – romance, sex, and betrayal.

Deborah Wilson had seen it all – but she didn’t see her own betrayal coming until it was too late.

As always though, the Camino provides - and it provided Deborah with the romance and love that had been lacking in her life for so long.

Told with wit and empathy, Finding Love on the Camino is a true story that leaves most romantic novels in its dust!”

Author of best selling Camino memoir “The Way my Way”.

When your husband of 19 years dumps you on the Camino what do you do? Put your faith in the power of the Camino? Forge on through your fears and grief, to arrive reborn into Santiago?

To the author, that seemed like the stuff of fairytales. And this was no fairy tale. This was real and raw and painful. The answer was obvious. Tomorrow she’d buy a one way ticket from Gijon to Granada. And figure out how to piece herself back together in the comfort and safety of home.

But the offer of the unconditional love and support of her camino family stops her in her tracks. The ones leading her away from the camino. Just like the sudden rupture of her marriage, she had not seen that coming.

For six weeks & five hundred miles, the only fixed point in her life was a town called Santiago in the far west of Spain. Towards which, when anything more seemed too much, she just kept putting one foot in front of the other. Surrounded by the stunning beauty of the coastline & communities of the Camino del Norte.

In her camino memoir the author shares how this life shattering event takes her to places she really doesn’t want to go. Inside her. Just like some of the steep slippery hills she has to tackle along the way. Obliging her to shine a light within on all the cracks she’d spent years papering over. Finding in the process that they really are what let the light shine through. When you stop struggling and allow it to.

And her camino turns out to be radically different to anything she could have possibly imagined. Particularly not one most unexpected turn of events.

Reading this book might well inspire you to take that first step towards your own leap of faith into the redemptive power of love on the camino.
