A teenager’s happy life in Wiltshire is suddenly shattered when a horrific accident leaves her mother brain-damaged. What should she do? How would she cope? What does the world offer a young and troubled soul that Wiltshire does not? What do any of us look for when we travel, when we seek, when we dare, and when we love?
Writer, journalist, and mother, Clover Stroud, looked for and found many things, including gypsy camps in Ireland, rodeos in Texas, rough rides in Russia, and quite a few terrific and tricky relationships along the way. In The Wild Other she tells a grippingly-honest story of loss, trauma, adventure, love, and the healing power of nature.
