Publisher's summary

Get ready to become delightfully unstuck.

Bestselling author Rachael Herron is stuck. She and her partner have lived in their beloved East Oakland home for 15 years, almost as long as they’ve been married. But the house is in a rough area, and they’re tied to a mortgage she’s not sure they’ll ever be able to pay off.

So when the whispered longing for adventure grows into a bellow she can’t ignore, Rachael decides to utilize not only her dual citizenship but also her impulsive nature.

She and her partner will abandon their standard-issue American life and move to the far-distant shores of Aotearoa.

It’ll be easy, she thinks. It’ll be fun! They’ll ditch the mortgage and pack a couple of bags, traveling light and fast to find a new life. She’ll say goodbye to everyone she knows and loves, board the plane using a one-way ticket, and surely, that will solve everything.

But even though she hasn’t bargained on the difficult realities behind relocations made with no final destination in mind, she can’t begin to imagine the untold surprises that will unfurl along her way.

“Herron’s jaunty prose will have readers breezily flipping through the pages as she enriches the narrative with indelible metaphors. This true story shows that making a big move can be a daunting but worthwhile and fascinating endeavor.”—Kirkus Reviews

In this no-holds-barred love story, a delightful cross between Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun, Rachael chronicles the messy, enchanting, and growth-demanding challenges of relocation and personal resurrection.

“The story of Herron’s move to the other side of the world in Unstuck made me feel EVERYTHING: curiosity, grief, transformation and joy. I LOVED every moment of this glorious, heart-warming book.”—Monna McDiarmid, author of After Everything

Delightful and inspiring

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of Rachael Herron’s memoir, Unstuck. In this captivating narrative, Herron shares her journey of selling her home and moving to New Zealand during a pandemic. While her specific experiences are fascinating, the book resonates with anyone yearning to live more fully, freely, and joyfully.

Herron’s stories are both unputdownable and relatable, filled with heart and humor. One particularly memorable moment was when she and her wife had to sell their home and move much quicker than expected, and I felt their courage and fear. Herron’s writing style is warm and inviting, making you feel you’re having a conversation with a dear friend.

Listening to the audiobook added another layer of intimacy to the experience, as Herron’s narration brings her stories to life with authenticity. The production quality was excellent, too!

This memoir inspired me to dream, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a dose of motivation and joy.
