The Long Road to Holy Island by Austin Suggs
This is a deep and spiritual book but a lovely read. It will make you want to go on a pilgrimage to Holy Island. True faith, kindness, hospitality, even romance - it’s all here, as we follow Cameron on his meaningful journey from America. Lost and grieving, Cameron has to go on a pilgrimage to find himself and learn how to stand on his own feet. Devastated after his mother’s death, he doubts that he can find any joy in life, but he rather desperately decides to go on a pilgrimage to Holy Island in her memory. She always wanted to do it but never did. He has a lot of trouble at first - it’s a bit harrowing, in fact! However, a stray cat which he calls Bede, keeps him company, and the wise monk, Brother Aidan, also travels with him. Cameron still has many crises to face, though, before he finds ‘the peace that passeth understanding’. I didn’t want to finish this delightful book. You feel that all of the characters are friends in the end. I received this free ebook from Edelwei...
