Rewilding - by Jane Green (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Who would you be if you stopped caring what anyone else thought? What if real freedom isn't about reinventing yourself... but about letting the woman you buried years ago grow wild again?

To the world, Jane Green had everything: bestselling novels, a beautiful home, the perfect family. Inside, she was disappearing, squeezed into the roles of wife, mother, provider, eternal people-pleaser while her marriage cooled, her children flew, and her own dreams gathered dust. Then she stopped squeezing herself into shapes that didn't fit.

Rewilding is the raw, exhilarating story of what happened next. Of rediscovering the loud, messy, paint-splattered art student she once was. Of choosing meaningful friendships over obligation, creativity over perfection, and the truth over silence. Of learning - messily and joyfully - that home isn't a place you build for other people. It's the life you dare to live for yourself. Part memoir, part battle cry, Rewilding is for any woman who has ever felt invisible in her own story. And it's proof that surrender could be the most radical act of all... and that the most powerful thing you can do is stop trying to be good, and start being free.

For readers of Glennon Doyle, Elizabeth Gilbert and Brene Brown.

Review Quotes

"Part wake-up call, part field guide, Rewilding is a brave, generous blueprint for changing your life."- Christina Baker Kline, #1 NY Times Bestselling author of Orphan Train and The Foursome

"Jane Green burns it all down in Rewilding: the illusions, the expectations, the life she thought she had to live. What's left is something raw, fierce, and brutally honest. This is a book about getting lost and refusing to stay that way. About breaking open and finding something wild, real, and true inside the wreckage." - James Frey, Bestselling author of A Million Little Pieces and Next to Heaven

"Sparkling, raw and profoundly insightful" -Rosie Walsh, NY Times bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call and The One Day You Were My Husband

"Jane Green's Rewilding is much more than a gripping, vulnerable, page-turner of a memoir describing her own midlife upheaval and renewal. It's a roadmap for any woman who reaches a certain point in her life, assesses what's wrong, and realizes she alone has the power to change it."-Deborah Copaken, NY Times bestselling author of Ladyparts and Shutterbabe

"An absolute gem of a memoir - nourishing, radical, and impossible to put down." -Helen Marie, author of Choose You
