Life was falling apart. Within the space of three years, Sonia Choquette had suffered the unexpected death of two close family members, seen her marriage implode and been let down by trusted colleagues. In order to regain her spiritual footing, Sonia turned to the age-old practice of pilgrimage and set out to walk the legendary Camino de Santiago, an 820-kilometre trek over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain. Eventually, mortification of the flesh gave way to spiritual renewal, and she rediscovered the gifts of humility and forgiveness that she needed to repair her world.

Sonia shares the intimate details of her gruelling experience,as well as the unexpected moments of grace, humour, beauty and companionship that supported her through her darkest hours. While her journey is unique, the lessons she learned - about honouring your relationships with others as well as with your own higher self, and forgiving all else - are universal.
