Who am I meant to become?

Diego has spent years avoiding that question.

He’s drifting through life in a Spanish village on the five-hundred-mile Camino de Santiago, watching thousands of pilgrims pass through in search of transformation. Something he's never dared to seek for himself.

Until the night his father catches him playing flamenco guitar for a captivated crowd.

In that moment, Eduardo—a man haunted by ghosts from his own past—realizes his son is running out of time. He sends Diego away with an old Spanish guitar and a choice that will change everything:

Take the safe path to his cousin’s farm and keep hiding. Or step onto the ancient pilgrim road and face the truth he's spent his whole life running from.

The Camino doesn't let you hide.

The strangers Diego meets along the way—pilgrims carrying their own burdens, sharing their own faith—will challenge everything he thought he knew about himself, his music, and what it means to truly live.

But transformation doesn't happen by accident.

It begins with a single step.

Candyfloss Guitar is the first book in The Reluctant Pilgrim series—a literary journey of music, faith, and the long walk toward becoming yourself.

Short enough to read in one sitting. Powerful enough to stay with you for miles.
