I would like to win a book for a Priest friend who will make the walk in the new year
I read three books on the Camino: Walking Home by Sonia Choquette, I’ll Push You by Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck and Two Steps Forward by Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist. All were very different from each other and I would love to see the book Walking in Watercolor. Also hoping to walk part of the Camino.
