      ADVANCE PRAISE FOR WALKING TO THE END OF THE WORLD

      “Beth Jusino doesn’t pull any punches in her vivid and engaging account of the pilgrimage she and her husband made, but happily she also shares with us her small victories and the many lessons she learns about herself, her marriage, and just plain ‘life.’ Perhaps most universal of those lessons is contained in her ‘Santiago Moment’ near the end of the book: gratitude!”

      —Kevin A. Codd, author of To the Field of Stars

      “Sprinkled with self-deprecating humor and life insights, Walking to the End of World recounts a host of colorful characters, drawing readers into the daily trials and triumphs of a challenging yet meaningful journey and break from ordinary life.”

      —Anna Dintaman Landis, author of Camino Francés: Village to Village Guide

      “An enchanting tale of faith, friendship, and pushing your own limits. I’m probably never going to hike the Camino (who am I kidding? I’m definitely not), but Jusino’s book had me looking up flights. She may be a novice pilgrim, but she is a master storyteller.”

      —Geraldine DeRuiter, author of All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft

      “Beth Jusino has captured the essence of this ancient pilgrimage, which inspires the reader with detail, wit, and spot-on accounts of what it’s really like to walk the Camino de Santiago.”

      —Gabriel Schirm, author of Sunrises to Santiago: Searching for Purpose on the Camino de Santiago

      “This wholly fresh story enchanted me with the cultures, people, chapels, and landscape. Despite the rigors of the Way, Jusino invites us to relish the rhythm of walking and delight in convivial evenings with other pilgrims over free-flowing wine and local food. With the depth of hard-won wisdom, she asks at the end ‘Who had I become?’”

      —Gail D. Storey, author of I Promise Not to Suffer: A Fool for Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail

      “This charming tale is infused with wry, self-deprecating humor and vivid descriptions of people and places that carry you along the 1000-mile trek as though you are there too.”

      —Wendy Hinman, author of Sea Trials and Tightwads on the Loose

      “Walking to the End of the World keeps us turning its pages—an elegant story woven in the seasoned voice of writer Beth Jusino, who shares great insight into her own strengths and weaknesses, relationships of all sorts, and a world view we’d all do well to consider. Among Camino memoirs this book takes its place in the top tier.”

      —Steve Watkins, Author of Pilgrim Strong: Rewriting My Story on the Way of St. James
