Rosemary Mahoney sets out on six remarkable pilgrimages to explore contemporary faith in practice. She visits Anglican and Catholic shrines, walks the long path of the Camino, endures ritual baths and penitential rites, and travels by raft and boat to witness devotion in very different cultural settings.

Key journeys documented include:

• Walsingham, England — an Anglican shrine
• The Camino de Santiago — a five-hundred-mile walking pilgrimage
• Lourdes — ritual baths and healing traditions
• Sea of Galilee — a solitary night below the Golan Heights
• Varanasi — the Ganges viewed from a rubber raft
• Station Island, Ireland — a three-day penitential pilgrimage

Mahoney’s reporting blends clear observation, wry insight, and cultural context to consider what draws people to sacred ground. Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, this richly detailed account will appeal to readers of travel memoir, religious studies, and anyone curious about the lived experience of pilgrimage.
