A delightful read of a woman's soulful pilgrimage on foot from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. It is written on two levels, the outer and the inner, both quite interesting. The beautiful places, amazing vistas, beautiful and less beautiful hotels, tasty meals and interesting fellow travelers she meets on the way are all interesting, but beyond that, you are privileged to her inner thoughts, prayers, reflections, misgivings, hopes and joys on this great journey as well. After reading this you are well schooled on what it is like to take such a pilgrimage, from the wonderful joys of a hot bath for a sore body weary of hiking and the great tip of using petroleum jelly on your feet to help with the inevitable soreness. But most importantly, you share in the first hand experiences of a thoughtful and prayerful person on pilgrimage, and by doing so you participate in your own way on her journey, and that is amazing.

What a beautiful account of a such a sacred, ages old pilgrimage. Catholics and non-Catholics alike will feel like they are on the journey with the author as she deals with the physical and emotional pain that of this life. It will make you want to put The Way of St. James on your bucket list.
~Anne Riecken
Reading 'Along the Way' brings many gifts of the Spirit. It is written from a woman’s point of view and this brings out of this secular pilgrimage details untold before. You can feel the welcome feeling of a simple pew in a church after a long day’s walk. It is also written from the point of view of the New World--the Americas--and from a sound and traditional Catholic perspective. So it does not lose you in distractions; it's not about a trendy walk. It unravels the eternal gifts of El Camino to a soul living in the 21st century.
~Daniel Rabourdin, EWTN Host, Theology of the Table
Losana Boyd unselfishly takes us along on her journey of the Camino de Santiago, providing us an unvarnished account of her 13 days on the trail. Through her descriptive and poetic prose, you feel like you are on a pilgrimage with her. She shares wonderful detail of the terrain, the people and the distinct communities that she encounters along the way. Anyone planning on hiking the Camino will gain invaluable information about the hike, where to stay, how to organize your trip, what to carry, etc. But her book is so much more than this.
She connects the physical struggles of the hike with her own inner conflicts and how the journey has provided time and space for soulful renewal. You can feel how her faith provides her strength and guidance throughout. This is a walk that has been journeyed by so many pilgrims searching for a way to reconnect to themselves and their faith. Her unique and inspiring account of that pilgrimage will stay with you long after you have finished reading her book.

Along the Way A Pilgrim Memoir of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela eBook Losana Boyd
Walking the Camino, whole or in part, has been on my "bucket list" for a while now. Which is why this book intrigued me.I have often heard it said that the pilgrim road is the metaphor for the inner journey, the search for whatever our restless hearts are looking for that initiates or deepens the journey to God. Losana Boyd narrates her story of walking the Camino in a way that is honest in its' difficulties - both the interior and exterior kinds - but more importantly in a way that is full of faith, hope, and love, those surest of signs of God's grace at work in us. Her writing style is simple and easy to read. At times she is funny, even helpful (who knew Vaseline on the soles of the feet could help prevent blisters?!), but she never deviates from her true purpose; to share with us a journey full of personal insight and spiritual depth.
"Along the Way" is a great read for anyone making the pilgrim way to Compostela or through life.

Along the Way A Pilgrim Memoir of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela eBook Losana Boyd Reviews
I love reading travel and spiritual journey stories and I can relate to the authors journey in so many ways. Her honesty and simplicity drew me in and her obvious love for God, the gratitude and love for His Church. If you are wanting to deepen your spiritual journey and understand the Catholic Church, this book is perfect. My only regret is that I finished reading it....
Thank you, Regina Press, for making this story available. I SO enjoyed "walking" the Camino with Losana, through her beautiful descriptions and personal reflections along the way. God willing, I'll be able to make the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage one day, also in my sixties!
And thank you, Losana, for offering your pilgrimage/prayers for the intention of the family. We all need each other's prayers!
Walking the Camino a woman recalls her unfaithful past and practices her now restored faith as she awaits the ordination to the Catholic priesthood of her son, a convert to Roman Catholicism. This child of the Sixties comes home.
The 'Way of St. James' has always fascinated me because it requires sacrifice and those who complete it seem to have a new lease on life. Ms. Boyd made it very clear that the camino was exhausting but she finished it and the book was written in a way that we accompanied her on the journey, suffering the hardships and ecstatic in accomplishing our penance. A very good book!
I highly recommend this very enjoyable account of one woman's journey on the Camino. Losana Boyd's writing style uniquely blends her interior thoughts with her external observations so that you almost feel as if you are walking along the path with her. I especially enjoyed her descriptions of the day-to-day incidentals of travel - meals, fellow travelers, unintended detours and various lodging - all of which vividly bring her pilgrimage to life. Definitely a worthwhile read!
Enjoyed travelling the Camino with Ms. Boyd , experiencing the joys and difficulties of pilgrimage. I was there with her as she traveled the somewhat difficult journey at times, meeting new friends, and always taking time to reflect on God and His Providence in our lives. Since I won't ever be able to make this pilgrimage, her account brought me along the Way easily and joyfully, and without blisters!!
Loved this Story! Several people I know have made this trip, but no one described it like the author did. I admire that she bravely traveled alone , increasing her faith and trust in the Lord along the journey. I felt like I was traveling along with her. Very inspiring.
