Then ultimately, she makes a surprising discovery.

CAMINO MAGIC

 

At 35, Jasmine has it all: a successful career, a nice house, a loving marriage – the only thing missing is a baby, but she’s working on that.

It all implodes when she discovers that her husband has a big secret. At her friend Rose’s urging, she decides to walk 500 miles on the Camino de Santiago to sort her life out.

At first, Jasmine is an overwhelmed, reluctant pilgrim. On top of everything else, she is being forced to confront her anger with her mother for an estranged relationship she barely understands. But when she meets Matteo, who has his own secrets and reasons for walking the Camino, she discovers a desire she had given up looking for long ago.

15 year old Lilli has no idea what she is doing on the Camino, but is determined to recover her lapse in memory before she returns home.

The three form a Camino family, trusting and empowering each other to work through their problems.

Just when Jasmine thought nothing more could surprise her, she receives help from a shocking, mystical source, and healing shows up in an unexpected way.
