Finding Grace - by Rocco Rossi (Paperback)

About the Book

A guilt-ridden plane crash survivor follows a mysterious woman's pilgrimage across Spain on the legendary Camino de Santiago to save his own soul, learning that redemption can't be bought-it must be walked.

Book Synopsis

What if a stranger walked 800 kilometres to save your soul?

A plane crash kills 127 people and leaves only one survivor. Anthony Auciello--known to the world as Tony Bird--is one of the most feared dealmakers on Wall Street and has everything money can buy, but among the dead are his mentor and closest colleagues. He walks away with no broken bones, but his life falls to pieces.

Haunted by survivor's guilt, stripped of his career, and drowning in grief, Anthony retreats to the Cayman Islands to disappear. Then a package arrives from Pamplona.

Inside is a parchment filled with Latin script that indicates a mysterious woman, Grace Land, has walked the legendary Camino de Santiago on his behalf to obtain a blessing for him. Compelled by a gesture he cannot explain, Anthony travels to Spain searching for answers.

As he walks across Spain and encounters other pilgrims who carry grief, love and hope in equal measure, Anthony learns the Camino's simplest, hardest lesson: you can't spreadsheet your way to redemption--you can only walk it. A river of grace runs through shared meals, mended blisters, whispered blessings, Camino traditions and the ancient practice of walking "for" another--turning footsteps into prayer.
