Some journeys
change your destination.
Others change you.
A Camino de Santiago novel about five pilgrims, one dinner, and the honest conversation that changes everything.
On an October evening in Muxía, Spain – the place medievals called “the end of the world” – five strangers arrive separately at a pilgrim inn. A Boston woman who has just walked 1,600 kilometers away from a 23-year marriage. A young man, eight months sober, finishing his Camino on a bus. A Canadian couple on their fourth Camino, contemplating retirement and what matters most. A Spanish teacher carrying her dead brother’s stone. Their host, a French chef who escaped corporate kitchens, has never walked the Camino himself. A communal meal at the end of their journey leads to laughter, confessions, and unexpected grace. It’s a story about the challenges we carry, the questions we haven’t answered, and the strangers who sometimes see us best.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF:
You’ve ever wondered if it is too late to change your life.
You feel pulled to something more – but can’t quite name it.
You crave genuine connections in an increasingly disconnected world.
You’ve stood at a crossroads and chosen to keep going… or wish you had.
You’ve poured yourself into caring for others and forgotten what fills you up.
The Pilgrims Table captures the spirit and energy of the Camino de Santiago. A must read! BRAVO!
