Sinopsis

On the cusp of turning 50, and still rebounding from a dramatic and near-fatal tumble off a bridge, Amit Janco embarked on a walk across Spain, heading not only towards the end of the earth&mdash,but, hopefully, to regain a body freed of chronic pain. After the first week&rsquo,s happy adventure with a mutt in tow and two donkeys hauling her belongings, all hopes of a peaceful promenade dissolved when Amit&rsquo,s new schlepping companion gave her the cold shoulder.With the company of a revolving cast of pilgrims and animals, Amit grappled with a sitting disability, ditched her hiking boots in favor of sandals, crossed paths with quirky characters, and discovered a human species unique to the Camino, the people she came to call Stagers. She developed an obsession with wild blackberries, fended off snoring pilgrims and was haunted by the story of a father who walked in mourning over his murdered daughter.Desperate to distance herself from a dysfunctional tree-hugging pilgrim who had volunteered to carry her gear&mdash,but instead wreaked havoc on her serenity&mdash,Amit found herself unexpectedly wading through an interior landscape riddled with loose threads and long-buried secrets. But, thanks to the solace of nature, coupled with the comic relief and spiritual sustenance offered by a German social worker&mdash,who wove in and out of Amit&rsquo,s weeks&rsquo,-long hike&mdash,her burden was ultimately lightened.(Un)Bound, Together: A Journey to the End of the Earth (and Beyond) is a testament to healing as a continual process along a path of unpredictable hurdles and revelations.
