I just finished reading the novel, The Garden of Happy Endings, by Barbara O’Neal. The story’s main female character is a former Catholic, now Reverend in a Unity church, who had walked the camino 20 years before with her fiancé. The fiancé ended their betrothal on arrival at the Cathedral, when he announced he had been called to become a priest. Because of an evil event affecting her church, she is now facing a crisis of faith and returns to her hometown, where the former fiancé is now the priest and is her friend.
It’s a pleasant enough read. The story has love, goodness and evil, angels, and search for redemption and for faith. The references to the camino are frequent and folks may find it a good read.
There is just enough detail about the camino to make me think the author may have walked.
