Publisher's Synopsis
"As a pastor who had recently left parish ministry, Marcia Wakeland wondered how she had once felt so profoundly called to that ministry but now found herself with big questions about her faith. She and her husband set out on the famous Camino de Santiago, the Way of St. James, on a pilgrimage to help sort through the contradictions of her spiritual journey. The five-hundred-mile walk follows a network of paths that lead to the cathedral of Saint James in northwestern Spain. Wakeland's trek proved to be a crucible of challenges as she confronted her own limits of discomfort, her prejudices, and her disappointments. Along the way, she was also met by the kindness of strangers and something just beyond the grasp of her imagination. The Long Walk Home is a testament to one woman's courage to confront herself, her faith, and to finally stand unexpectedly on Holy Ground"--.
