Lori Erickson always wanted to be a travel writer, so she started
pitching stories to editors. And she started writing. What she
found as she traveled and wrote was that sacred places exerted a
special pull on her. And she noticed that her own faith was
changing as a result.Holy Rover is a record of Erickson's
pilgrimages-some as close as a state or two away from her native
Iowa, others across the world. Erickson reflects on her Lutheran
upbringing, her flirtation with Wicca, and her admiration of
Tibetan Buddhism. She writes compellingly about the healing shrine
of Lourdes alongside her son's serious illness as a baby.Along the
way, Erickson describes her encounters with spiritual leaders who
include the Chief Priest of Asatru, a Trappist monk at Thomas
Merton's Gethsemani Abbey, a Lakota man who directs a retreat lodge
at the holy site of Bear Butte in South Dakota, and a nun at the
Abbey of St. Hildegard in Germany. Each gives her valuable insights
into her own spiritual journey, and she is ultimately drawn back to
faith.
