Description
Throughout her life, Renee Gilmore has been in love with the open road. Her passion for exploration has taken her across all seven continents-but the real journey has been much more personal. In Wayfinding, she confronts the impetus behind her wanderlust: a lifetime shaped by loss, betrayal, and sexual violence. Told through a series of car trips and postcards from the road, this powerful memoir maps a route toward healing, acceptance, and hope, with stops at Waffle House and the Monaco Grand Prix along the way. Narrated with unflinching honesty and flashes of humor, Wayfinding is the story of a fiercely resilient woman determined not only to survive but to remap a new life filled with freedom, connection, and joy.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Both tender and bracing, this is a book that refuses easy answers, inviting readers to sit with discomfort, discovery, and the quiet power of resilience."
-Jeannine Ouelette, author of The Part That Burns and director of Writing in the Dark
"Her ability to write about painful experiences without sacrificing her sense of wit, her gift for incisive observation, and the need to make space for self-reflection is a testament to Gilmore's masterful gifts as a storyteller."
-Roy G. Guzmán, author of Catrachos: Poems
"This capable writer brings the reader through what is at times a difficult journey, yet her clear-eyed, innovative narrative driven by her inner strength makes this a worthy trip."
-Kate St. Vincent Vogl, author of Lost & Found and coauthor of Iron Horse Cowgirls
