Publisher's Synopsis
We meet Peter standing on the edge of a cliff contemplating the question, 'How far would you fall before changing your mind?'
Adrift in Spain, having left all he owns and knows, he faces the hard truth - life catches up to you no matter how far you run.
Three months before, whilst sitting in a former police cell and handling delivery requests, he received a phone call from a stranger who asked him to write her suicide note.
So begins a series of synchronicities that lead him to set out on the ancient pilgrimage through France and Spain, the Camino De Santiago.
As he walks, his father's story unfolds beside his own, chronicling the causes of addiction that run through his paternal line and which led to his father's premature death the year before.
Peter is haunted by what seems like an inevitable path laid before him. Homeless and without money, he must let go of control, place his trust in the kindness of strangers, and embrace the mysteries of the Camino.
Before he can finish his pilgrimage and reach the ocean, a reckoning awaits him in the desert. If he can face his family's past, he may walk into a new world.
Inspired by true events, this story is about grief and healing and how we can send the love back.
Will you walk with me?
