Woman In The Woods

After her divorce at fifty years of age, Rachel Barker packed a rucksack, laced up her boots, and walked into the forest-not to escape, but to remember who she was before life got so loud.

Woman in the Woods is a candid, quietly powerful account of a woman choosing solitude over distraction, nature over noise, and truth over comfort. Set against the backdrop of dense woods, misty mornings, and long, firelit nights, this collection of reflections explores what it means to lose everything you thought defined you-and to find, in the stillness, that you were never truly lost at all.

With raw honesty and gentle wisdom, Rachel writes about loneliness, resilience, old fears, new freedoms, and the surprising joys of starting over later in life. These pages are not filled with grand revelations or survivalist tales, but with the quiet, hard-won truths of a woman learning to be at home in her own skin again.

Perfect for readers drawn to memoirs, nature writing, and the subtle strength of feminine independence, Woman in the Woods is a map for anyone wondering if it's too late to begin again.
