From an author whose “writing is pitch-perfect” (Elin Hilderbrand): To fulfill her mother’s last wish, Che Milan embarks on a pilgrimage to Canterbury — and along the way, she meets travelers who change her life forever. “With originality galore, Wright has crafted a wonderfully entertaining tale with flair… Readers looking for something different need look no further” (RT Book Reviews).

Che Milan’s life is falling apart. Not only has her longtime lover abruptly dumped her, but her eccentric, demanding mother has recently died. When an urn of ashes arrives, along with a note reminding Che of a half-forgotten promise to take her mother to Canterbury, Che finds herself reluctantly undertaking a pilgrimage.

Within days she joins a group of women who are walking the sixty miles from London to the shrine of Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, reputed to be the site of miracles. In the best Chaucer tradition, the women swap stories as they walk, each vying to see who can best describe true love. Che, who is a perfectionist and workaholic, loses her cell phone at the first stop and is forced to slow down and really notice the world around her, perhaps for the first time in years.

Through her adventures along the trail, Che finds herself opening up to new possibilities in life and discovers that the miracles of Canterbury can take surprising forms.
