Becoming My Rebecca is the story of one woman who found her heart’s true home on an island in Puget Sound, met her forever love there, and forged a life with him. Among many twists and turns (oh my–the things a quick courtship can conceal!), the biggest one was his diagnosis of colon cancer, subsequent conversion to Catholicism, and then going to Spain to walk the 500-mile Camino de Santiago de Compostela. In the process of all this, Phil Volker became rather well-known in Pilgrim circles, and his life changed completely. So, inevitably, did hers. Suddenly having other people in their previously quiet life was the norm. Suddenly she was sharing her husband with multitudes of admirers, up to and including his ultimate death. In a plain-spoken, down-to-earth voice, the narrative ranges from laugh out loud hilarious to painfully honest to heartbreaking storytelling. The author gives her readers an intimate inside view of the marriage and of the man who was her partner for forty-five years that complements and completes the popular understanding.
