The Singular Pilgrim

The Singular Pilgrim is a riveting account of one woman''s personal quest to find the root of belief among modern religious pilgrims. The intrepid Rosemary Mahoney undertakes six extraordinary journeys: visiting an Anglican shrine to Saint Mary in Walsingham England; walking the five-hundred-mile Camino de Santiago in northern Spain; braving the icy bathwater at Lourdes; rowing alone across the Sea of Galilee to spend a night camped below the Golan Heights; viewing Varanasi Indias holiest city from a rubber raft on the Ganges; soldiering barefoot through the three-day penitential Catholic pilgrimage on Irelands Station Island. A fiercely observant traveler and an insightful writer Mahoney offers a witty and provocative chronicle of her adventures.
