Out of the terrible fire of loss and betrayal, something beautiful and life-changing can emerge. The author, Joy Alway, takes the reader on a journey that is sometimes painful but always lovely, as she shows how she rebuilt her life after her husband of more than thirty years left her for another woman.

The simple benevolence and humanity of this author, who, though wronged, still tried her very best to do right, is a lesson all of us can and should take in, learn from and replicate where possible.

Set in part against the backdrop of the world-famous El Camino de Santiago (The Way of St James), the story takes us along with Joy as willing pilgrims. We follow her journey of humility, gentleness, self-discovery and above all else, courage and perseverance to continue when it feels like one can continue no more.
