Rewilding: Freedom, Friendship, and Finding our Way Home, new memoir for 2026

I was fifty-five when I finally stopped pretending. 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.
