Madia's adventurous tales transcend their rugged terrain, telling, at the crux of it all, very human stories--The Source
New York Times bestselling author of Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind Brianna Madia considers putting down roots--but on her own terms--in this intimate and inspiring memoir addressing life's big questions, such as where and how to live, how to commit to a relationship and whether to become a mother.
Brianna Madia is renowned for her honest and enthralling accounts of life in the wilderness, finding her own way by rejecting society's expectations, so what happens when she falls in love and has to reset the boundaries of her fierce independence?
Homesick Nomad finds Bri splitting her time between her beloved wild desert in Utah and her boyfriend's cozy suburban home in the Pacific Northwest, reckoning with:
- a new urge to soften into the embrace of the comforts of home
- defining her purpose and direction in life, including the big decision facing women, the question of motherhood, and
- the fear that committing to others means sacrificing independence.
She's not only defying convention to prove something to herself or to others--a simpler way of life out in the desert actually brings her peace, as she realizes when resisting upgrades to her trailer like running water.
Balancing the liberation of the wilderness with the natural compromises of love, Bri navigates these familiar tensions by embracing her life in its wholeness, richer for both the stability of home and the profundity of wide open spaces.
