About the
book: Along the Way
Three friends, thirty-three days, and five
hundred miles walking the Camino de Santiago add up to one journey they’ll
never forget.
Piper Rose, Dani Shapiro, and Alexandra ‘Tessa’
Louise De Mille Morrow share a history that goes back to their pre-school years
in Chicago when their families were still intact. Now Piper lives in Evanston
with her divorced dad, her estranged, unstable mother popping in and out of her
life at random moments. Meanwhile, Dani’s been living in Santa Fe with a
psychologist mom pregnant with her fiance’s IVF babies. The blueblood Tessa
resides on prominent street in Boston and
dreams of a romantic and well-heeled love story like that of her
great-grandmother who went to France during World War II.
Now that it’s the
summer before college, these radically different friends decide to celebrate
their history and their future by walking the legendary pilgrimage along the
“Way of St. James,” from the French Pyrenees to the Spanish city of Santiago,
not quite expecting their feet to feel like they’ve been put through a meat tenderizer
or that cyclists racing the road will nearly run them over, then claim all the
beds (and the hot showers) at the pilgrimage’s auberges.
But there are plenty
of highpoints too,
like the beauty of the Pyrenees Mountains, the spree at a posh hotel in
Pamplona, and the numerous ways in which each young woman must learn to believe
in herself as well as in her friends. And who could forget or explain the
miracles—or milagros—that have been happening on the Way of St. James for
centuries?
And yes, there is the promise of falling in love which, like the
word for pilgrim in Spanish (peregrino which
translates into ‘curious, strange’) introduces a dizzying, at times marvelous
chaos into each young woman’s story, transforming their collective journey, one
that takes them across the north of Spain, into the experience of a lifetime.
About the Author:
Jacqueline Kolosov walked the Way of St. James/Camino of Santiago in the summer of 1999 and had her own share of miracles (including a pony who stepped onto the path) as well as bed bugs and cyclists. Next to giving birth to her daughter, the pilgrimage is hands down the most exhilarating event of her life. Jacqueline has published several novels for teens including THE RED QUEEN'S DAUGHTER and GRACE FROM CHINA. She also writes short stories, essays and poetry. Her third collection of poems is MEMORY OF BLUE, and she has a short story collection, LOVE, THE BITTERSWEET forthcoming. A passionate animal lover, she lives with her family including 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs and a 1/2 Andalusian mare in West Texas. Jacqueline teaches creative writing and literature at Texas Tech university. She loves to run, swim, and practice yoga. And like the friends in Along The Way, she is a bookworm, a clothes horse, and an avid (amateur) artist.
