"'Tender, funny, and courageous, exquisitely written and completely compelling. As Jenkins traces a 5,000-mile route with his wildly entertaining mother, Barb, he begins to untangle the live wires of a parent-child bond and to wrestle with a love that hurts. Their relationship is as complicated as it gets, yet as beautiful as I've ever had the privilege to witness in words. I don't know a single person who wouldn't benefit from reading Mother, Nature.' - Suleika Jaouad, New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms -- . * . * 'A gorgeously written story of a mother and son's journey across the country, back into the past, over craggy emotional and ideological territory, as they try to find a way forward together. Again and again, Jenkins' conclusions surprised me and made me consider my own ""deal breakers."" Ultimately Mother, Nature is a book about love, acceptance, and the freedom that comes from knowing, at long last, the truth. As a mother and as a daughter, I'll be thinking about the conversations at the heart of this book for a good, long time.' - Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful -- . * . * 'A beautifully crafted road trip through the sad, sweet, aching truths of a mother, a son, her faith, and his reason; a peacemaking of love unresolved and overwhelming.' - Rabbi Steve Leder, New York Times bestselling author of For You When I Am Gone -- . * . * 'Mother, Nature may chronicle a familiarly fraught parent-child odyssey, but reading it feels like a soul-soothing stroll. Jenkins's vulnerable, clear-eyed storytelling is a gift.' - Amanda Montell, author of Cultish -- . * . * 'First of all, fuck Jedidiah Jenkins. As a soon-to-be mother of a son, I am completely gutted by this brilliant book. It's one of the most vivid and generous accounts of a mother I have ever read, and a masterclass in confronting unspoken truths; the ones lodged in our throats for years, risking the sting for something sweeter: freedom. At its core, Mother, Nature is an act of devotion and defiance, proving that an imperfect love, 'a love that limps', offers us both.' - Nada Alic, author of Bad Thoughts -- . * . *"
