Publisher Description
Years ago an overachieving and harried young mother accidentally flushed her gold watch down the toilet. Time passed, but the image of the lost watch continued to haunt her, a symbol of an overcommitted life. Two decades later, propelled by a series of curious coincidences, she leaves behind her busy professional life, her cell phone, and her family to escape the tyranny of time and walk five hundred miles across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela.
Steps Out of Time brings the mysterious and wonderful world of the Camino to life with its tales of serendipitous encounters, new friends made (and one tragically lost), stunning natural beauty, and unforgettable food. By the end of her journey, an exhausted and exhilarated Katharine Soper is keenly aware that she has completed much more than a month-long walk.

About Katharine B. Soper
Katharine B. Soper has worked as a French professor, an attorney practicing divorce law and insurance defense law, a divorce mediator, a writer and editor at the Institute of Continuing Legal Education in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a University of Michigan administrator. Earlier in her life, she supervised line-walkers on the Alaska pipeline, guided student tours to France and Spain, and taught English to mid-level executives in Bogota, Colombia, and to air traffic controllers at the Bordeaux International Airport. But of all her adventures, the one that most profoundly changed her life came at age fifty-seven when she first walked the Camino Frances from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France, to Santiago de Compostella, Spain. The journal she kept during this 800-kilometer trek is the basis for Steps Out of Time: One Woman’s Journey on the Camino.
