Overview

Didn't want this journey to end! - Shari H. You caught me hook line and sinker. I was addicted from the first page. - Agnes A. A great story about female friendship and finding your truth - Garth A. Aubrey is struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life when her son convinces her that walking 500 miles across Spain via the Camino Frances would be good for her. When she befriends Pam and Georgina, she meets kindred spirits. Each carry their burdens close to their hearts, trying to find where they fit in the real world. Overcoming blisters, aching joints, and the uncertainty of life, the trio walk together on a path of trust and forgiveness. But as they shed the miles, and inches from their waistlines, the connection they share bonds them like no other relationship they have ever experienced. Will the Lovelies escape the demons that haunt them or will they carry the baggage of their pasts forever? Will 'The Way' provide the answers they're looking for? Or will it make them face questions they hadn't thought to ask? And can they do that without losing what they each want most in the world?

With comfortable pacing and amazing descriptive language that brought the scenery to life, Camino Wandering is the kind of book weekends, cozy couches and hot tea are made for. Imagine getting to travel and experience one of the most remarkable epic walks in the modern world... all while wearing your slippers and PJs. - KJ McDaniel What a fun adventure of a book! Tara has written three engaging lead characters that I cared about ... I laughed and I cried and I cheered the Lovelies on ... as they courageously walked to find their truths. The supporting characters were also well written and fun to hang with. The descriptions of the Camino walk were evocative ... The story made me appreciate my best friends, and also made me yearn to do some multi-day walks in my home state. - G. Alley I really loved this book, despite having little familiarity with the setting. By the time I'd finished, however, I'd fallen as much in love with the Spanish countryside as I had with the characters themselves! And the characters-they were a delight. The three main women, although very different, all felt like a part of me. I was enveloped in their struggles as well as the joy they found in one another's growing friendship. By the end of the book, I felt like I'd walked all those kilometres with them, met those other lovely pilgrims, and stayed in the bustling albergues. If you're looking for a book with evocative scenery and strong, compelling characters, then give this a read. And if you've ever considered walking the Camino yourself, this should give you a good idea of what it actually means to do so. - Angela G. I loved this book! I'm not usually someone who reads contemporary fiction or stories about friendship, but I found myself drawn to this story, and after I picked it up, I couldn't put it down! The Lovelies (Aubrey, Pam, and Georgina) are all compelling characters in their own right with really in-depth backstories, and I even felt their fears, pains, and triumphs. The support cast is incredibly diverse and well written, with relatable characteristics in all of them. I wanted to know more about these characters after the book finished, and I don't find myself feeling that very often! The setting was also rich and imaginative, based on the author's own experiences (which I found on her website - that's how invested I was!). I could practically see the beautiful sunrises she was describing, the quaint little albergues, even the stones in the pavement as the Lovelies walked! This book is fantastic and I can't wait to see more from the author. - Natalie C. This is a book every Camino traveller will want to have not just read, but as woman and a Camino walker, one we want to own and proudly have in our personal book collection, taking pride of place. - Agnes A. Captivated from start to finish ... The bond between the three key characters captured the essence of people connecting on the Camino. - Meredith A. A cohesive novel... with characters I care about and a really stunning setting. - Seana S.
