Synopsis

“A soul healing experience”...”inspirational” (Dr. Jeanette's Radio Show)

”It would make an intriguing movie” (Mary Kenny in 'Catholic Herald')

“An engaging, solidly entertaining, and deftly crafted novel” (Midwest Book Review)

A broken past. A sacred path. A final chance at redemption.

Set in the recent past, Waiting for Amy is not for everyone. Though fundamentally a good man, the protagonist harbors a shadowy secret that shrouds him in controversy.

At sixty-nine, Wade should be settling into retirement. Instead, haunted by guilt and a lifetime of emotional detachment, he sets out alone on the ancient Camino de Santiago. What begins as a physical trek across Spain soon becomes a harrowing pilgrimage into the deepest chambers of his mind.

Wade is not just searching for peace—he’s fleeing a secret he can no longer suppress.

Along the way, he meets other pilgrims: some seeking God, some running from themselves, and one—Angelina, a young Swedish woman—who forces him to confront desires and delusions he thought long buried. Then there's Diego, a mysterious, unnervingly perceptive man whose brutal honesty challenges Wade’s carefully constructed beliefs.

As the miles unfold and the past resurfaces, Wade is pushed to his limits—spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Will he find forgiveness, or is it already too late?

Waiting for Amy is a profoundly moving novel of spiritual awakening, emotional reckoning, and late-life transformation. Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Camino, this is a story for anyone who has ever longed for meaning, healing, or a second chance.

Présentation de l'éditeur

“A soul healing experience”...”inspirational” (Dr. Jeanette's Radio Show)

Wade, a sixty-nine-year-old retired teacher, is desperately searching for meaning to the rest of his life. As he sets off to walk the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela, he hopes to rekindle his faith in God and come to terms with a dark secret he has kept hidden at the back of his mind for nearly forty years.

Although his pilgrim journey of self-discovery, walking 500 miles across northern Spain, is physically demanding enough for a senior citizen, it also brings him face to face with yet more challenges. He encounters enigmatic characters, obsessions, temptations, and emotional conflicts. And when he meets a mysterious old man, Diego, who delivers some cold, hard truths about his life, Wade remains in denial.

Wade's pursuit of female company, regardless of Diego's warning, hinders his spiritual progress. But who cares, when Angelina, a fascinating young Swedish woman less than half his age, stumbles into his life?

Will Angelina reciprocate his feelings of love?

Will Wade continue to live in a way that hampers his personal growth and spiritual development?

Will he ever make the psychological breakthrough he needs to move forward with his life? Or will fate step in and open the floodgates for his past to finally catch up with him?

Find out in this profound, memorable and inspiring novel which will capture your heart, soul and mind in equal measure.
