When Andrea Hogan set off on the Camino de Santiago, she was carrying more than a backpack. Her mother was disappearing to Alzheimer's. Her identity as a high-performing executive was fraying at the edges. She needed to walk.

What she found on those 500 miles — in the blisters, the strangers, the silence, and the unexpected moments of grace — became this book. It's a memoir about a daughter watching her mother forget, about a leader learning to let go, and about the strange, profound magic that shows up when you stop trying to outrun what's chasing you.
