After his mother's death, author Timothy Egan sets off on a pilgrimage across parts of England, France, Switzerland, and Italy. He was raised Catholic but many events in his life have left him questioning his faith. As he travels down the Via Francigena, Egan explores the history of the church as well as the spiritual journeys of his family and himself. It's a book well worth reading.
I enjoyed reading about the little villages along the trail from England to Rome, and took notes for future visits. I was left a little unsure of what influenced his decision in the end
