The Singular Pilgrim Travels on Sacred Ground

In a series of deeply personal accounts, the author of The Early Arrival of Dreams explores the practice of religious pilgrimage as she recreates the Irish Catholic pilgrimage to Station Island, visits to holy sites in Israel, the Hindu pilgrimage to Varanasi, a trip to Lourdes, and the journey to Santiago de Compostela, among others, and examines the meaning of the pilgrimage in modern life.
