Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago($17.99Value)

Description

After three decades building a successful career in the music industry, Michael Rucker stepped away at sixty to confront a quieter question: What happens when the life you built no longer reflects who you are becoming? The answer began to unfold on the Camino de Santiago. In this memoir, Rucker walks more than 800 kilometers across Spain and Portugal on two pilgrimages that challenge his identity, sobriety, ambition, and need for external validation. Along the vast plains of the Meseta and into the mountains of Galicia, he discovers that transformation does not arrive in a single moment — it unfolds step by step. Under a Canopy of Grapes is a story about moving from achievement to presence, from warrior to wizard, and from proving to trusting. It asks what remains when titles and deals fall away — and who we are when nothing is left to hide behind. For anyone who has quietly wondered, Is this all there is?, this book offers a way forward.
