This book is full of intriguing and compelling stories of pilgrims who traveled with adult family members as they traveled in search of the 'Camino promise.' It covers an important spectrum of pilgrim studies that has so far been neglected by pilgrimage scholarsthe effects of pilgrimage on family relationships. The book also discusses the role of technology not just in the pilgrim experience, but in inter-pilgrim relationships as well. A must read for modern pilgrimage studies scholars. -- Daniel Olsen, Brigham Young University Kathleen Jenkins's book is superb. While it explores pilgrimage and its transformative effects, it also freshly analyzes pilgrims' intentions, preparations, and family structures. Her ethnographic research adds much to Camino studies. -- Lynn K. Talbot, Roanoke University, Editor of Following the Yellow Arrow: Younger Pilgrims on the Camino
