Austin Suggs: The Long Road to Holy Island, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A grieving son. A wandering monk. And an ancient path where grief and grace share the same road.

Cameron MacAllister is an unlikely pilgrim, not least because he doesn't believe in God ... and he hates walking. But when his mother dies unexpectedly, Cameron learns of her dreams to travel Saint Cuthbert's Way through the hills of Northumberland to Holy Island. She will never have the chance to fulfill that dream, but he can. For her.

What ensues is a story of grief, the kindness of strangers, and the intrigue of his enigmatic and unexpected traveling companion, Brother Aidan, an elderly monk who insists all of life is about learning to pray. As the miles pass under his feet and conversations flow, Cameron must confront questions he had long since considered settled, questions about life, faith, and the difficulty of making sense of a world that itself so rarely makes sense.
