The story of a 1,000-mile healing walk--from the lochs of Scotland to England's southwest coast.
What The Reviewers Say
Winn can be forgiven for sounding, at times, preachy; she sees evidence of disaster everywhere.
Winn seems to have a bird’s-eye view of Britain – a map at her feet, a keen eye for detail, particularly for social injustice. Hers is a voice of empathy and integrity, and her points are never made polemically, but by the simple observation of others’ experiences..
It may be a cliché to say this book is inspiring, yet it is, and it’s every bit as much about the Winns’ inner lives as their adventure. The narrative is so vividly drawn and emotionally resonant that most readers will come to feel like one of the family..
