About this listen
Narrated by Brianna Madia
In this beautifully written, vividly detailed memoir, a young woman chronicles her adventures traveling across the deserts of the American West in an orange van named Bertha and reflects on an unconventional approach to life
A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband. Nowhere for Very Long is her deeply felt, immaculately told story of exploration—of the world outside and the spirit within.
However, pursuing a life of intention isn’t always what it seems. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, and even desperate—when Bertha overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of South Dakota highway; when the weather was bitterly cold and her water jugs froze beneath her as she slept in the parking lot of her office; when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future. But Brianna was committed to living a life true to herself, come what may, and that made all the difference.
Nowhere for Very Long is the true story of a woman learning and unlearning, from backroads to breakdowns, from married to solo, and finally, from lost to found to lost again . . . this time, on purpose.

Beautiful
This was an absolutely beautiful memoir. Storytelling was very engaging and beautiful, a life well lived. Never listened to an audio book this fast or this nice to listen to. Can’t wait to read it again when the book arrives in the mail.

So good!
Loved this story. So sad to hear about the haters though. Ppl are really messed up.
I hope the author can find her peace and happy place again. Need a second book on her continued journey.

Four Corners
It gave me chills of memory; as I did something, most thought I was crazy to do, in that area.
Thanks

Yes!!
I love the freedom of choice and the story of how a strong woman chooses her own path and keeps going in the face of adversity. I love the inspiration and knowing and the stories and subtle guidance.

Intensely interesting and realistic
I look forward to reading Ms. Madia's next book, telling about how she wrangled a chainsaw into submission, and was rendered helpless by a smol freckled pupper.

Heart explosion of the very best kind
This is the first time I’ve ever cried real tears and laughed out loud to the yelling of a story. It felt like I was having a glass of wine with Bri whilst watching the dogs run on a dried up lake bed in the middle of nowhere talking about everything and talking about nothing all the same. What an experience!

Empowering and phenomenal
Brianna captures you not only in her writing but also her narration of her book. At points I felt warm and fuzzy and at others I sobbed. You can hear the pain in her voice at times which just adds to the experience. I wish I could read it for the first time again. I feel inspired to be a strong woman and to hug my dog.

Absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful
This story is incredible. Whether you’re familiar with Brianna’s story or not, this is a must read. Especially if you’re a woman. I just finished and I’m already listening again because there is so much to learn from and still so many beautiful words to absorb. I cannot wait to read about her next adventures.
