Nowhere for Very Long: The Unexpected Road to an Unconventional Life

Product Information

as someone who has made my own trek from the east coast to Utah and experienced many of these wild places, worked in wilderness therapy, and adopted a desert mutt of my own -- this book put the most beautiful and perfect words to the authors experience that feels like my own.

Only she is brave enough to face the world and plaster those mistakes in public spaces where people have been incredibly cruel to her for being honest in this way. Brianna's honesty and vulnerability on Instagram, and her encouragement to do the hard, scary, unknown thing is what finally inspired me to leave my miserable graduate program in pursuit of a writing career. This book made me ache for Utah, lost love, the parent who did their best and still wasn’t enough, and my own wounded inner child. Despite being someone who has dogs, and adventures myself, and is a woman who embarks it all alone, I don’t feel like I’m the target audience here - and that’s okay.Nowhere for Very Long is her deeply felt, immaculately told story of explorationof the world outside and the spirit within. But it was not for the faint of heart as there was real pain and real sorrow on those pages and i wept and wept for hours even after putting the book on the shelf. As a reader, I was left eagerly anticipating the next installment, and I can't wait for the release of the second book. she has told this story over and over again about how dagwood is "the boy who lived" and that she wouldn't go back and change a thing. she does not care about you or your opinions or your swaths of support and creepy obsession with her.

But her telling of it shines with a depth of reflection that may surprise and will certainly inspire readers. Madia is completely detached in some of the sections, especially the section concerning Dagwood’s incident. She made a name for herself on social media with her inspiring captions-cum-essays about bravery, identity, nature, and subverting expectations. she will use this "memoir" as a way to further manipulate her ruthless army of fans into believing that she's a good person.If you want someone to give you a little spur to carry on pursuing your dreams, no matter what age - get this book. Her dogs live the LIFE, her snakes are currently wrapped happily around her wrist, and mice have very short lifespans to begin with. I believe for one’s own light to shine you don’t have to dull others’ and it really feels like Brianna Madia doesn’t know how to let both her light shine and others’ at the same time.
