A Tale of Love and Loss

Many pilgrims embark on this journey as a way to heal from the loss of a loved one.

Spiritual Healing and Renewal

While grief plays a significant role in the pilgrimage, the Camino De Santiago also offers a platform for spiritual growth and renewal.

The shared path brings together individuals seeking guidance, spiritual solace, and a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

Many pilgrims find that their spiritual journeys are intertwined with the physical challenges of the route. The aches, blisters, and exhaustion become an integral part of the pilgrimage, serving as a metaphor for the pains and struggles endured in daily life.

“Thoughtful and refreshingly unpretentious . . . her insights continue to resonate for days after you’ve finished reading.” —Washington Post

The first book by NYT bestselling author of ON LIVING

A Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers pick (Holiday, 2004)

Less than a year after her father died, Kerry Egan set off to hike the Camino de Santiago with her boyfriend Alex in tow. As each incident, encounter, and hard-won mile shapes her internal journey toward accepting the loss of her father, the most unlikely events--from a fist fight with an ATM machine to discovering chickens in church to the joy of eating a pizza in a train station--reveal in fresh ways the many faces of love and the mysteries of grief, hope and faith.

With both the laugh-out-loud humor and stirring poignancy that Egan's writing is known for, Fumbling explores faith in the face of grief and love. This first book from NYT bestselling author of ON LIVING (New York Times, December 2016) is both an engaging and entertaining armchair travel adventure and a beautiful and deeply moving portrait of a spiritual transformation.

Fumbling is a journey no reader will ever forget.
