Hi All
I'm an American writer/blogger living in Galicia on the Camino Frances. I just released my debut novel set on the Camino. Spoiler alert. The Grief of Goodbye: Book One in The Camino Family Trilogy is a book that will make you cry. A LOT! More than anything, as a writer I want to hear folk's reaction to this story I wrote it in my head while walking, then began writing after my first Camino in 2017. I would love to hear from you via this thread or via private message after you've read it. Love it or hate it.
Here is the synopsis.
Discover an emotionally charged tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption in The Grief of Goodbye. Can a mother's unwavering determination save her self-destructive daughter before time runs out?
Amidst a fatal diagnosis, Tess Sullivan, a high-powered executive, faces an unimaginable dilemma as her teenage daughter, Pen, plunges into the abyss of self-destruction. At a crossroads, and determined to rescue her daughter, Tess makes a heart-wrenching decision—she will delay her own cancer treatment and embark on an extraordinary journey to save Pen.
As Tess and Pen set off in the scorching sun on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across Spain, their departure fills Tess's husband, John, with an overwhelming mix of fear and hope. Aware that their lives hang in the balance, John, in a moment of profound vulnerability, pours his heart into a letter that will alter the course of their lives forever.
While Tess fights to reach her daughter amidst the trials and revelations along the Camino, John's heartfelt letter becomes a guiding light, revealing truths that will test the strength of their family's bond. As Tess's illness takes its toll and Santiago seems more distant than ever, she realizes the gravity of shielding her family from her own grief and pain.
The Grief of Goodbye weaves a tapestry of love, resilience, and the lengths we go to protect those we cherish. Will the unyielding bonds that tie a mother and daughter together be enough to save them?
It's available on Amazon (all countries), Barnes and Noble, and Goodreads - or by ordering it via your local bookshop.
