Publisher's Summary
The author of the New York Times bestseller Nowhere for Very Long continues her story with this deeply honest, moving account of a woman walking the line between independence and isolation when she moves to the Southwest desert with nothing and no one but her four dogs.
In her debut memoir, Nowhere for Very Long, Brianna Madia reflected on her life as a nomad, free to roam some of the most beautiful land in America. Now, in Never Leave the Dogs Behind, the van life adherent faces the unfathomable darkness that comes from a life blown apart, her only solace the support of her dogs.
In the wake of a painful, public divorce and the ensuing fallout, Brianna moves from a pared-down van into a pared-down trailer. She reckons with her decision to be alone in the desert, living on a nine-acre plot of undeveloped land on the dusty outskirts of a small town in Utah, accompanied only by her four precious dogs: Bucket, Dagwood, Birdie, and Banjo. As she grapples with the anger, despair, and delicious freedom that comes from being wholly on her own, Brianna wonders where, exactly, the road less traveled has led her.
A powerful and poignant portrait of rebuilding and surviving, Never Leave the Dogs Behind is about finding the courage to start over when the dream life you thought you were living collapses around your feet.

Cried within first 3 pages
I can’t wait for the next one, and all the others come after. My dog has been licking my tears for the last 4 days.

Never read the comments on social media...
I got Brianna Madia's first book "Nowhere for Very Long" on a Audible Daily Deal primarily on the premise of "living in a van with my dog" sounds amazing. I really enjoyed her first book, so naturally I had to preorder the second.
Now even thought I "follow" her on social media...I don't really pay attention...not to the point that it appears some people do!! WOW! People can be horrible!
I can sympathize with everything she did, even despite her mental health...I can't imagine anyone being able to turn away from that sort of harassment.
I enjoyed hearing about her adventures...but my only complaint would be now we need a third book!!! My only complaint was some of the stories felt rushed, especially the ending.
I did have to go find her socials just to see how she managed to load all the dogs on the paddle board and I didn't picture Bingo to look as he did.
All in all...enjoyable.

Bri is a storyteller
I relate to these books because I am on my own journey of van life with a dog
I think Brianna is a great storyteller and I enjoyed her reading of this audiobook even more than her first. I hope to hear more from Brianna and look forward to her (and my own) happy ending. thanks for making relatable content for people like us trying to live on the edge of society!
