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. She experienced desert heat and cold, walls of cactus, sleeplessness, hunger, both physical and spiritual exhaustion, the dangers of wild creatures and encounters with drug smugglers – and weeks with no water other than what a pack mule could carry. “The Mission Walker,” an Audie Award Finalist for Best Inspirational Book, is her first-hand account of the experience and struggles she endured, and the inspiration drawn from the old unmapped Spanish mission trail. The book 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. The book cites more than 50 original, historical sources, as the author’s story – like the old mission trail – runs through past, present, and future identities. Edie Littlefield Sundby’s essays have been published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and her story has received widespread national and international media coverage.
