Tales from the Trail - Keeping it Real on the Camino de Santiago: One African American Woman's Quest for Clarity

In April 2017, Jacquline resigned from her job. One month later, she boarded a plane headed to Spain to walk the Way of St. James. What was she thinking?

TheCamino de Santiago-AKA "The Way of St. James" in English-is a network of pilgrimage passages leading to the tomb of Saint James the Greater in Santiagode Compostela, Spain. And in May 2017, author Jacquline L. Saxon "Jackie" embarked on her third Camino.

After resigning from her post as the Vice-President of Student Affairs and Vocation at a seminary, she looked brightly to the future.What would be next?

It came as no real surprise to Jackie that her thoughts landed on a romanticized view of the Camino de Santiago. Beforelong, she booked stays at the beginning of her journeyand had all her ducks in a row to begin her quest again.

Within the pages of Tales from the Trail: Keeping it Real on the Camino de Santiago, Jackie provides a close, confiding first-person narrative that makes the reader feel as if they're hearing about her grand adventures over a glass of wine and pintxos. It's an eye-opening journey from a 50-some-year-old who eagerlytook one step after the other into a new chapter of her life.
