Pilgrim State by Jacqueline Walker

A memoir

A story of mothers & daughters and the bonds which can never be broken

Out Now!

‘It’s good the walls are white. In the morning , before they turn on the electric, when the room is lit by watery sun that starts the day in this place, you can see the walls are white. It’s probably the only time you can tell the real colour of anything around here.’ 

Pilgrim State is a stunning memoir which tells the story of Dorothy Walker equal parts beautiful, headstrong, brave and tragic. Her life is lovingly recreated by her daughter Jacqueline in homage to the remarkable woman she was.
