Download Walking Distance: Pilgrimage, Parenthood, Grief, and Home Repairs AudioBook Free
In the summer of 2000, David Hlavsa and his partner Lisa Holtby embarked on a pilgrimage. After striving for 3 years to conceive a child and coping with the monthly circuit of expectation and disappointment, they decided to walk the Camino de Santiago, a joint business - and an work of faith - they hoped would reinforce their relationship and make them for parenthood. Though walking more than 400 miles across the north of Spain turned out to be more difficult than they had anticipated, after a series of misadventures, including a brief stay static in a Spanish clinic, they found its way to Santiago. Shortly after their return to Seattle, Lisa became pregnant, and the hardships of the Camino were no evaluation to what implemented: the stillbirth of their first kid and Lisa's harrowing second pregnancy.Walking Distance is a moving and disarmingly funny reserve, a good report with a happy closing - the safe entrance of David and Lisa's second kid, Benjamin. David and Lisa have more than they bargained for, however they also get just what they sought: a child, a solid relationship, and a richer life. The reserve is publicized by Michigan Condition University Press.
