Some journeys change your destination.

Others change you.

On an October evening in Muxía, Spain – the place medievals called “the end of the world” – five strangers arrive separately at a pilgrim inn. A Boston woman who has just walked 1,600 kilometers away from a 23-year marriage.

A young man, eight months sober, finishing his Camino on a bus. A Canadian couple on their fourth Camino, contemplating retirement and what matters most. A Spanish teacher carrying her dead brother’s stone. Their host, a French chef who escaped corporate kitchens, has never walked the Camino himself.

A communal meal at the end of their journey leads to laughter, confessions, and unexpected grace.

It’s a story about the challenges we carry, the questions we haven’t answered, and the strangers who sometimes see us best.

• You feel pulled to something more – but can’t quite name it.
• You crave genuine connections in an increasingly disconnected world.
• You’ve stood at a crossroads and chosen to keep going… or wish you had.
• You’ve poured yourself into caring for others and forgotten what fills you up.

For readers of The School of Essential Ingredients, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and Tuesdays with Morrie: a novel about pilgrimage, the questions we carry, and the strangers who see us best.

The Pilgrim's Table is Book One of The Camino Chronicles, a series about the roads we walk - and the ones we have been afraid to begin.
