Book Information
Not every Vagabond is a Castaway...
Maya Galen’s oldest son, Jamie, left home eight years ago after a massive row with his parents and now Joe, her youngest child and apple of her eye, has cut off all contact with them too.
Called to Australia to identify the body of a young man, Maya is given her son’s journal. After a sleepless night she decides that the only thing she can do is follow in Joe’s footsteps and try to discover her most basic human self. Eschewing a monetary lifestyle, from now on she must rely on her physical and emotional strength to survive.
Following Joe’s hand-drawn maps and journal entries, she travels from Australia to Denmark and beyond, meeting many other travellers along the way and learning valuable lessons.
Eventually a crisis forces her to return home and confront the end of her marriage, but also a new understanding of what family, in the widest sense, really means.
Exploring the big questions at the heart of human existence, The Vagabond Mother shares territory with books and films such as Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, The Way, starring Martin Sheen, Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found by Cheryl Strayed and Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

My Review
3.5☆ A Poignant Journey of Self Discovery.
The Vagabond Mother is a heart warming and poignant story about self discovery, Heart Break, adventure and relationships.
After the heart breaking time of identifying her son's body, Maya starts to read Joe's journal and in it he talks about finding himself and says he wants his mum to fly.
So Maya takes that as a sign and convinces Con her husband that she needs to go find her self. She needs to go on an adventure like Joe did. Leaving her Twin Girls and Con behind.
He has no choice but to let her go, hoping she will come back to him.
What follows next is an emotional rollercoaster of a journey for Maya as she struggles with grief, regret, self discovery, confidence. She learns all about becoming a Vagabond and being a better person.
The story is told by Maya and then journal entries from Joe as we discover his adventures and more about why he left and he's thoughts. Which took me a little while to get used to.
I really enjoyed reading The Vagabond Mother it's a really emotional and compelling read. I liked the insight to the Vagabond lifestyle.
My only niggle was that I felt I was dropped in the deep end at the start and didn't really know what was going on or who anyone was. But as the story progresses it settles down but at times still felt a little disjointed.
The Characters are well thought out and relatable.
This is my first book by Tracey Scott-Townsend and I'm looking forward to reading more.
