  Based on her memoir of the same name, Sue Kenney’s Confessions of a Pilgrim is a real-life fable. Portrayed here in a documentary short film, it is an emotionally gratifying, spiritually rewarding and personally inspiring memoir of Sue’s physically grueling and mentally challenging reprise of her first trek. Sue’s life journey continues, going even further and deeper into the mystery of the Camino, by asking the questions we want asked and facing the fears that confront us all.

Confessions of a Pilgrim (i-Universe Publishers / Distributed by White Knight Books) more deeply explores the terrain of multi-talented author Sue Kenney's first book, My Camino. She returns to the celebrated ancient Spanish pilgrimage path to walk 500 kilometers alone on the Portuguese Route. Prior to leaving, she was entrusted with a sacred Eagle Feather by a Native friend as a result of a vivid dream. Her overt mission -- to find a worthy recipient before returning home. But the Camino presents her with dramatic and intensely personal truths, which she shares in her live performance reading here.

Sue's Launch Event in Toronto's Lula Lounge was an opportunity to share a little of that drama through her own reading as well as presentations from friends and artists including fellow pilgrim/author Robert Ward, musician Leon Kingstone, filmmaker Karen Hines (My Name is Pochsy: An Industrial Film), Bruce Pirrie and his comedy troupe The Gents all brought together under the deft hosting talent of engaging MC Naomi Snieckus. The BookShorts film was also screened.

Suddenly downsized out of the corporate telecom industry, Sue Kenney, a business woman, mother of three teenage daughters and a world class masters rower, embarked on a journey walking 780 kilometers across the north of Spain on a quest to discover her life purpose. Her first book, My Camino, tells the true story of a woman confronting her deepest fear.

Her second work, Confessions of a Pilgrim (release date July 2007) deepens the story of her journey on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, and speaks to the insights possible through travel as a means to personal growth.

In this profile, Sue Kenney and editor Bruce Pirrie speak frankly about transforming a real life fable into the BookShort adaptation Confessions of a Pilgrim.
