A terrifying diagnosis. An unbreakable bond. And one unforgettable
journey. Cameron Powell has always struggled with goodbyes. On the
day his marriage ends, he finds out his mothers cancer has returned
-- and this time there may be no escape. Faced with the prospect of
more chemo and surgery, his German-born mother, Inge, vows to
conquer a 500-mile trek across Spain, and Cameron pushes aside his
fears to walk by her side. Joined by a misfit band of adventurers
-- a politically incorrect Spaniard, a theatrical Frenchwoman, a
teenager whos never been far from home -- Cameron and Inge write a
fierce and funny travelogue about the rocky heights and hidden
valleys of the Camino de Santiago. But the hardest stretch comes
three years later, when Inges health declines -- and Cameron, ready
or not, must accept the challenge to remain as present to his
mother as he can. As their journey shrinks to the room around a
hospice bed, Cameron begins to record, in their blog, his real-time
impressions of lifes most difficult voyage. The result is one of
literatures epic love letters (Julia Scheeres, Jesus Land).
Propelled by the searing immediacy of his own fear and sadness,
this deeply-felt memoir opens up new insight into what it means to
be a man, and takes us -- with wisdom, humour and an overflowing
tenderness -- into one of the most challenging journeys true
friends can ever take. If you like candid motherson relationships,
humorous tales from the trail, and in-the-moment insights on living
a life of purpose, then youll love this luminous, inspirational
true story about pilgrimage, presence, and letting go.
