“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 beloved 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.

Adventures of a woman unapologetically herself

Third but God I hope it’s not the last cuz I’d read a thousand books by Brianna! This book is incredibly inspiring, touching, magical, humorous and leaves you with an overwhelming sense of justice which is hard to come by these days! Loved every minute of this book and especially William’s love for a woman so deserving it melts my heart!

Love love this book (and the dogs of course)

Loved it all. The author does a wonderful job in the audio version. Listening to it was a joy.

Another amazing read from Brianna!

Read her first book just before her second was released and this, like the previous two, I couldn't put down. She lays everything out on the page, and her narration always keeps you enthralled. Her love and dedication to her dogs has been inspiring along with her adventurous wanderlust spirit. Her bravery and resilience in the toughest situations gives light and hope to any reader. Thank you for another amazing memoir.

From the heart.

I have loved each of Bri’s books. I’ve listened to all 3 on audible since I love Bri’s narration. She tells her story from the heart and takes the reader on her journeys . This 3rd book hits a little more though since she had to narrate it after the loss of Dagwood. Forever my favorite author.

Incredible story teller. Thank you for writing this.

Brianna's way of writing is absolutely beautiful and movie-like to me. Hearing her read her own story aloud makes it all the more powerful. Thank you for sharing your journey.
