Lost and Found on the Camino de Santiago

By Xuan Hernández

Meet Miguel. Broken heart. Troubled mind. In search of healing, he takes off to Spain's ancient pilgrimage trail, the Camino de Santiago. He doesn't have much of a plan but to allow the path to lead him. And it leads him to Anna. As they a walk across fields, over mountains and through medieval towns, they start falling for each other, but they're unsure about stepping into a relationship. Their hearts are still churning with the questions that led them to the road. A touching, humorous, lyrical piece of travel fiction, it will grab you by the hand and take you along for the trip. Authors' Reviews "Stories are the connective tissue between human spirits. And Xuan Carlos Hernndez has found stories from the stones he's walked on, between worn steps, on ancient grounding. His writing is muscular and musical. We need more voices like this." -- Luis J. Rodriguez, author of Always Running, La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A. and It Calls You Back: An Odyssey Through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing "Miguel sets out on the Camino full of sadness, guilt and regret. But for the reader, from the very first step it is a journey of wonder, hope and discovery...the marvels of the ancient path intertwined with the internal explorations of the pilgrims...The profound mixes with the pedestrian in Xuan Carlos Hernandez's charming tale...sparking both bittersweet wanderlust and a contented feeling that wherever we are, we are all walking the trail." --Kari Lydersen, author of Mayor 1%: Rahm Emanuel and the Rise of Chicago's 99% "Hernandez's first novel is a page turner! Following the long list of "pilgrimage novels," starting with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Hernndez takes the reader on a long foot journey along the dusty Camino de Santiago. Isolated from the many suffocations of a globalized world, the Camino de Santiago has for a millennia encouraged pilgrims to form bonds and find meaning. In this story the protagonist, Miguel, encounters other fellow travelers, each on their own search. Join them on the journey and lose yourself on the Camino." --Juan Mora-Torres, Professor of History, author of The Making of the Mexican Border.
