Hi Sil,
She sounds more like a conqueror than a survivor!

Wilna walked in the heart of winter (early February) and experienced -5oC temperatures, closed albergues, walked through a hurricane and got stress fractures in her feet.  
As a life coach and motivational speaker she turned every hardship into a lesson learned.  
She is a survivor!

Hello you all,
Here is a new Camino book that sounds like a Christmas story.

Hugs!

The Way Of The Stars And Stones: Thoughts On A Pilgrimage

by Wilna Wilkinson

Jacana R179

When a close friend on another continent is diagnosed with cancer, feelings of helplessness drive the author to seek out a challenge as daunting and overwhelming as the battle her friend is facing. She sets out on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, also known as The Way of St James, following an 800km pilgrimage route across the Pyrenees in northern Spain. Religious pilgrims have conquered it by foot (or perished trying) for more than 1 000 years. 

It is said every pilgrim carries some burden, and the Camino provides the ideal environment to find the answers within one's own heart and soul. 

The night before she completes her two-month pilgrimage, the author receives the happy news that her friend has been declared cancer-free. There's nothing trite about it, though. 

Recommended. -
