Camino – From Slavery to Freedom | Austin Macauley Publishers

A book for all those who want to put the heavy burdens of the past behind them.

This book helps you in difficult moments. Even the hardest ones. It gives hope, strength, faith in life, and the meaning of perseverance.

This book has been a work in progress for at least 13, maybe even 24 years, but it finally found its way out after the Camino; after the journey that echoes my personal transition from slavery to freedom; after the liberation from childhood trauma I had been fighting for.

I was prepared to travel to the end of the world to get out, to rid myself of the shackles that had been getting heavier and heavier, and that is exactly what I did. I travelled to the end of the world, to Fisterra, in search of lightness and freedom.
