The Mission Walker: I was given three months to live… paperback book by Edie Littlefield Sundby. $21 plus shipping. Email California Mission Walkers
Under siege from relentless stage 4 cancer and after losing her right lung, Edie Littlefield Sundby undertook a healing 1,600-mile walk along the El Camino Real de las Californias mission trail through the mountain wilderness of Baja Mexico and the Sonoran Desert to Northern California.
“The Mission Walker” is her first-hand account of the experience and struggles she endured, and the inspiration drawn from the old unmapped Spanish mission trail.
Her story is both an adventure story and a reflection on the universal experience of confronting our own mortality. It is a story of what we will do when faced with the potential end of our life. What do we do with our time left on earth. And how much do we still really, truly want to live.
Pilgrimage: In Search of the Real California Missions – Is the story of author Christian Clifford’s 800-mile journey on foot of the California Missions Trail where he learned many lessons from those who blazed the Trail before him—indigenous, Spanish, and mestizo. Not a guidebook, but an inspirational story of one man immersing himself in California mission history on the mission walk. If you would like to purchase one, please Email the author, Christian Clifford.
