—Donovan’s Literary Services

Down-to-earth

“Fans of armchair travel or those exploring their own interest in walking the Camino de Santiago will get a lot from this down-to-earth guide and memoir.”

—BookLife

Beautifully written personal account

Savoring the Camino de Santiago should be required reading for anyone considering following the pilgrimage path across northern Spain.”

—Amazon

A stowaway on a spiritual quest

“The author shares a personal account of her experience in a way that plants the reader on the brim of her sunhat, allowing us to view the path ahead.”

—Amazon

The joy of the pilgrimage

“As someone who enjoys travel but didn’t know anything about the Camino de Santiago, I was curious to read this book. What a treat! This is the best way to appreciate a special adventure – from an author who is openminded, curious, culturally aware, seasoned, and knowledgeable…. A beautiful story, very well told.”

—Amazon

A useful and deeply personal description of one woman’s Camino

“The author gives us an inclusive picture of the history, challenges, sociology, geography and emotion of walking the Camino de Santiago, including advice on all aspects of preparation and technique, options besides walking, things to see along the way in an honest fascinating memoir…. Her personal story is engaging and honest, the travel story is engrossing, the commentary enlightening…. As Papa Hemingway exhorted,
she “wrote it true.”

—Amazon

Enjoyable travel book to savor slowly

“I purchased this book not knowing anything about the Camino de Santiago. I do enjoy travelling, and I’ve never been to Spain, so I thought I’d see if it captured my interest. It did! I read a few pages every morning with my breakfast and coffee…. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this journey slowly day by day with the author”

—Amazon

Personal, intimate journey

“The author tells her very personal story in a vulnerable way, which is appropriate for such a personal, insightful journey. Vividly written, this book will transport you to the Camino de Santiago, taking every step with the writer and experiencing her emotions as well as your own. It will entice readers to embark on their own journeys.”

—Amazon

A Tribute to “Less is More”

“The author does a brilliant job of explaining how a gun, author James Michener, and MD Anderson in Houston all merged together to get her on the trail after decades of thinking about it. I particularly appreciate her attitude to go slow and savor rather than go fast and see how far you can go…. I’ve known about this popular pilgrimage for years. Now I feel as though I’ve been there without the necessity of a plane ticket or several weeks of my time to see it all for myself.”

—Amazon

Resilience, Reflection and Resolve

“Connor’s message is simple. Walk your own Camino, take time to enjoy it and work so that others might do the same”
