ABOUT THE BOOK: New York Times bestselling author Brianna Madia returns with HOMESICK NOMAD: Settling into an Untethered Life (on sale 4/7/26; HarperOne; $28.99), a profound and moving memoir that delves into the complexities of self-discovery, independence, and the quest for home in an untethered world. Her new work invites readers to explore the landscapes of the American West and the equally vast terrain of the human heart.
Following her acclaimed books Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind, Madia continues her exploration of an unconventional life. HOMESICK NOMAD chronicles her journey after leaving a marriage, embracing solitude, and navigating the challenges of modern connection. The narrative fearlessly confronts the pain of online harassment and the emotional weight of public scrutiny, offering a timely reflection on vulnerability in the digital age.
Through her signature blend of raw honesty and lyrical prose, Madia examines what it means to build a life on one's own terms. The memoir explores themes of financial independence, resilience, and the constant negotiation between freedom and societal expectations, including traditional expectations around motherhood.
Ultimately, HOMESICK NOMAD is a testament to the strength found in starting over and the courage it takes to define home for oneself. Madia’s journey through grief, healing, and newfound love offers a powerful and empathetic look at the search for identity.
