Brianna Madia has lived a life of relentless intention, traveling the deserts of the American West in an old Ford van. She made a name for herself on social media with her inspiring captions-cum-essays about bravery, identity, nature, and subverting expectations. She lives in Utah and Oregon and wherever the road takes her, so long as her five dogs Bucket, Dagwood, Birdie, Banjo, and Delilah are in the backseat. Her previous books, Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind, were New York Times bestsellers.

"An introspective, compelling memoir about learning to trust again while remaining a wanderer, by a writer who is unabashedly herself." — Library Journal"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." — The Source"In a world of performances and masks, Brianna is as real as the red dirt she calls home. While people dream of a remote and nomadic life, she actually lives it. While people wish they could speak freely and honestly about their fumblings, she rips herself open and invites us in. She is, to me, the definition of a modern Western." — Jedidiah Jenkins, New York Times bestselling author of To Shake the Sleeping Self"Unflinching, honest, and important, Brianna's story liberates us all." — Joy Sullivan, bestselling author of Instructions for Traveling West"Homesick Nomad is honest, bold and captivating—I struggled to put it down. Brianna has a talent for bringing us into her unusual, eccentric world, and making us want to stay just a little longer. Her latest book has it all: heartbreak, adventure, drama and, of course, so much growth." — Eva zu Beck, author of The Wilder Way and host of National Geographic's "Superskilled"
