✨ What It’s About
The Pilgrim is a work of historical fiction set in medieval Wales. Driven by ambition and family expectation, young Henry de Brampton is determined to make his mark. Destined for a prestigious career in the Church, he readily embraces the chance to experience the world before taking his vows. But fuelled by selfish desire, he recklessly betrays those he loves, with devastating consequences.
Overwhelmed with guilt, he seeks redemption among the Cistercians of Abbey Cwmhir and finds a new identity as Brother Hywel. Yet a further thoughtless betrayal will prove he cannot escape himself, and he is forced on pilgrimage to save his vocation.
A reluctant pilgrim, can the unlikely company help him discover what it truly means to be great in God’s eyes, and will Hywel ever be willing not just to receive forgiveness but also to forgive himself?

🌅 The Inspiration Behind the Book
I wanted to explore the power of forgiveness, most especially forgiving oneself, to bring healing and transformation. As with all my fiction, I drew on my own experience, of how crippling guilt and shame can be, and how there is freedom from it all on offer from a God who pursues our hearts.
