A Pilgrim’s Guide to Walking Wisdom: 11:11 Insights by Renee Baribeau

About Featured Book: A Pilgrim’s Guide to Walking Wisdom: 11:11 Insights by Renee Baribeau

NEW RELEASE! In spring 2024, I embarked on a life-altering pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, a journey that invited me to release my expectations, trust the path ahead, and embrace the unknown. Alongside fellow pilgrims—each at their own crossroads of life—I uncovered profound truths that had been gestating in my soul for over three decades. Inspired by earlier pilgrimages, vision quests, and solo retreats, this walk became more than a journey through Spain; it became a path to transformation, healing, and spiritual renewal.

In A Pilgrim’s Guide to Walking Wisdom, I share eleven powerful insights drawn from this sacred pilgrimage, insights that speak to those seeking a deeper connection to themselves, nature, and the divine. From letting go of the pressures of everyday life to rediscovering joy, purpose, and inner peace, these reflections invite you to embark on your own spiritual journey, no matter where you are or what you seek.

Step by step, the Camino taught me that healing doesn’t come from knowing all the answers—it comes from walking with the questions and trusting the path. Whether you’re in the midst of grief, seeking a new direction, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual connection, this book is an invitation to walk your own path to wholeness.
Let the journey begin. Solvitur ambulando—It is solved by walking.

Smoldering Betrayal by James Rada Jr.

Smoldering Betrayal by James Rada Jr.

Matt Ansaro returns to his hometown of Eckhart Mines in the Western Maryland coal fields. It has been five years since Matt was here, and he swore when he left in 1917 that he would never return. Although Matt’s parents are dead, the rest of his family welcomes him home with open arms.

Joseph McCord, the superintendent of the Consolidation Coal Mines and a classmate of Matt’s, is not so happy to see Matt return. He has plans for Matt’s old girlfriend, Laura Spencer, and Joseph thinks he will need to compete with Matt for her attention.

Matt has his own plans. He is a Pinkerton detective, and he has been sent to spy on his former neighbors for the Consolidation Coal Company. The coal company owners want to know about union activity in the town and shut it down before it can gain a foothold.

Matt takes a job in the mines and works to re-establish his connections with his family and neighbors, including Laura. He also finds himself attracted to Samantha Havencroft, a suffragette and daughter of a college president.

Matt is walking a tightrope. If the miners find out he is a detective, he could be attacked and driven from town. However, if the coal company or Pinkerton Agency discovers Matt’s real reason for returning to Eckhart Mines, the result could be just as bad. He is a man alone, trying to do what he sees best, even as a national coal strike looms.

A major earthquake. A tiny mountain town. A forbidden attraction.

The earth doesn’t just move—it dances—and I find myself in the arms of the most ruggedly alluring man I’ve ever seen.

Paul Fuller—widowed, wealthy and, unbeknownst to me, my best friend’s father—comes to my rescue.

Trapped in a small mountain town by a devastating earthquake, he grudgingly offers me a bed in his luxurious mountain cabin until the roads are safe enough to travel.

Problem is, the roads are probably safer than the bed is and our primal instincts take over as his grumpy demeanor turns to tenderness and an unexpected love begins to grow.

For two exquisite days and nights, he takes me to heaven and back, echoing the ground’s violent tremors.

As aftershocks rattle the entire area, we face a seismic shift in our lives, as I discover this incredible man is actually my best friend’s father.

Paul gives me twins, but what I need is a future.

With his daughter’s disapproval pulling us apart, I worry our love will crumble when what we really need to be building is something as strong and enduring as the majestic peaks which surround us.
