  • The way of the gardener : lost in the weeds along the Camino de Santiago

    Creator

    Penner, Lyndon

    Abstract

    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago. The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere.
