WAITING FOR AMY: A Pilgrimage Into The Mind

”It would make an intriguing movie” (Mary Kenny in 'Catholic Herald')

“An engaging, solidly entertaining, and deftly crafted novel” (Midwest Book Review)

A broken past. A sacred path. A final chance at redemption.

Set in the recent past, Waiting for Amy is not for everyone. Though fundamentally a good man, the protagonist harbors a shadowy secret that shrouds him in controversy.

At sixty-nine, Wade should be settling into retirement. Instead, haunted by guilt and a lifetime of emotional detachment, he sets out alone on the ancient Camino de Santiago. What begins as a physical trek across Spain soon becomes a harrowing pilgrimage into the deepest chambers of his mind.

Wade is not just searching for peace—he’s fleeing a secret he can no longer suppress.

Along the way, he meets other pilgrims: some seeking God, some running from themselves, and one—Angelina, a young Swedish woman—who forces him to confront desires and delusions he thought long buried. Then there's Diego, a mysterious, unnervingly perceptive man whose brutal honesty challenges Wade’s carefully constructed beliefs.

As the miles unfold and the past resurfaces, Wade is pushed to his limits—spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Will he find forgiveness, or is it already too late?

Waiting for Amy is a profoundly moving novel of spiritual awakening, emotional reckoning, and late-life transformation. Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Camino, this is a story for anyone who has ever longed for meaning, healing, or a second chance.
