The Reluctant Pilgrim, Book 1

By: Stephen R. Marriott

Narrated by: S. D. Cousins

Choose your way....

Diego is drifting. He has been content with living his life in a sun-scorched village that lies on the route of the pilgrim path: the Camino de Santiago. But one stormy night, change is forced upon Diego when his father, Eduardo, the local candy floss maker, unexpectedly catches him entertaining a captivated crowd with flamenco guitar rhythms.

At that moment, Eduardo lets go of the ghosts from his past and realizes it's time for Diego to find his path in life. Eduardo arranges for Diego to live and work on a farm and sends him on his way with the gift of his old Spanish guitar. Will Diego commit to working on the farm, or will he confront his destiny on the road where a million pilgrims have passed before him?

Candyfloss Guitar is the first book in the Reluctant Pilgrim series about one man's journey of self-discovery and the hope he will eventually bring to others. A journey both physical and spiritual, guided at times by the unlikeliest of angels!
