Brave Healer Productions Releases "Holy Dirt" by Molly Lord
The new book is a wise and whimsical account of the sixtyish-year-old author’s solo hiking adventure on the Camino de Santiago
BETHESDA, Md., March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brave Healer Productions is proud to announce the release of Holy Dirt: A Camino Journey Out of My Mind. Into My Body. Saved by Song, a new book by Molly Lord, who took the trip four years ago. When the Camino de Santiago whispered its call: come walk 500 miles across the French Pyrenees and northern Spain … alone, she was in her early sixties, lacked foreign travel experience and was walking around nursing 40-year-old injuries. What could go wrong?
Readers of her creative memoir will find out as she shares her life-changing adventures on the same rigorous journey taken by an estimated half a million people a year. Yet Lord’s unique literary voice — paired with the music that helped her through her pilgrimage (which readers can listen to via QR codes sprinkled throughout the tome) — make for a one-of-a-kind experience.
She writes, “I returned to the U.S. with the need to process this crazy ride and chose to allow the experience to spill out onto the pages of a memoir, Holy Dirt. The themes of music, rhythm, and magic surprisingly followed me on my 36 days on the trail. On silent foggy mornings, I discovered my favorite tune of all is the sweet rhythmic sound of my boots crunching on the gravel trail.”
Holy Dirt‘s title was inspired by a comment made by a friend, “This is holy dirt. Wrap your whole being in it. Get dirty.” Instead of a guidebook for those intending to walk the trail, Holy Dirt is an adventure story that offers messages from the trail anyone can use. For instance, any carefully made Camino plan will be turned on its head, watch for angels and be where your feet are.

“Holy Dirt is a book for all of us, whether we walk the Camino or we don‘t. Each of Molly Lord‘s steps along the way gives us insight into how to live this life with all of its tears and sorrow but supported by laughter and song.” —Yvonne Caputo, award-winning author of Flying with Dad and Dying with Dad
