Jane Blanchard's book, Women of the Way: A Journey to Joy, was truly joyous to read. Jane starts out in the same "place" many of us are ... with a stressed, busy life.

This is a great read, particularly if you are considering doing a long-distance hike and are looking for inspiration. The author does a wonderful job of portraying the challenges and the joys of preparing for and journeying on the Camino. It is a worthy read for anyone who is interested in hiking, travel, and introspection and learning about the many ways people find themselves on the same journey together.
