The death by suicide of Maris, his beloved wife of forty-two years, changed everything for Noel Braun. In his struggle to rediscover himself, he sought structure and meaning in the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago in the north-west of Spain. In 2010, at the age of seventy-seven, he undertook his first pilgrimage. He soon found that one Camino was not enough. Noel had to keep seeking. His yearning was like an addiction or a contagion, a virus infection. What drew him back?
Perhaps, it was the call of the spirit, luring him into the unknown where he had to rely on a strength greater than his own to persevere. Noel's passion did not abate. He had to keep walking. He continued his pilgrimages in 2011, 2013 and 2015. These explorations are described in his earlier books The Day was Made for Walking and I Guess I'll Just Keep on Walking.
Keep Pressing On, Brother is his third book in a series of memoires detailing his Camino pilgrimages.
