New York Times bestselling author Brianna Madia returns with Homesick Nomad: Settling into an Untethered Life (on sale 4/7/26), 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.

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.

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.
