A FURNACE FULL OF GOD
A HOLY YEAR ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO
by Rebekah Scott

Now available on
Amazon.

In a style reminiscent of A Year in Provence, this is a story of daily life in a Camino pueblo – winter pig-slaughtering, family feasts, singing the saints’ statues into the fields to bless the crops. Shepherds, carpenters, and truck drivers helped us, a couple from faraway lands, find our stride far from Pittsburgh and London. Here are the animals that gave “Peaceable Kingdom” its name, and the pilgrims who gave it purpose: broken-hearted Yuppies from the Bronx, sweet Swedish hippies, barefoot Philippine penitents, on the Road to the shrine of St. James. Everyone who stayed brought a story. But Holy Year is not just another “Merry Pilgrims on the Santiago Trail” book. Moratinos in 2010 was shadowed by sudden death. A series of accidents tore a hole torn in the community fabric.

But Moratinos is on the Camino de Santiago, and 2010 was a Holy Year – a time and place where redemption could be won by simply walking down the road.

THE MOORISH WHORE

A Novel by Rebekah Scott

Plucked as a prize of war from the palace of the poet-king of Sevilla, princess Zaida lost her name, her religion and her family in a single day. Isolated in San Facund, the monastic heart of the Castilian king´s vast realm, Isabel´s Psalter and folio of Islamic poems kept her spirit alive in a town that considered her "a Moorish whore." Betrayal and a clever escape led her to a new life, and a chance to write her colorful tale. "The Moorish Whore" is based on the true story of an 11th century princess.

THE GREAT WESTWARD WALK

BY ANTXON (BOLITX) GONZALEZ GABARAIN, translation by REBEKAH SCOTT

“The Great Westward Walk” is the long-awaited English translation of “El Gran Caminante,” the best-selling contemporary Spanish narrative of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. The tale is told by “Bolitx,” a Basque pilgrim who walked in 2008 from his hometown on the Cantabrian Sea along a disused pilgrim trail, joining “the Mighty Camino Frances” in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Along the Way to Santiago he spins colorful tales of family life in a Basque village: ghost trains, kindly nuns, and card-shark grannies; as well as his daily dealings with pilgrims: the pot-smokers, saints, liars, and scholars who share his journey. Peppered with camino history never before seen in English; it’s an unforgettable view into the character of a witty soul both Spaniard and Basque. “The Great Westward Walk” was this young author’s great and final work: he finished the written journey three days before ALS ended his life at age 41.
