Description

While Jane juggles the mental load required to wrangle her family away on a trip around rural Australia, she dreams of fourteen weeks where every day is Saturday. Yet she is also terrified.

To her frustration, the road proves no escape from the grind. Parenting challenges are compounded, camp toilets need digging, and she must pack the car again and again like a reluctant Tetris master. Seeking courage, Jane is drawn to the Book of James during her quiet times.

While the kids argue over what movies to watch on their long drives, Jane grows increasingly impatient to achieve the peace she feels promised by God for her grim perseverance, until an unexpected encounter in outback Coober Pedy changes her understanding completely.

Raw, luminous, and at times hilarious, Travels of a Wimpy Mum is a piercingly relatable memoir, essential reading for anyone muddling out their faith in the relentlessness of family life.

"This is so much more than simply a story about a family trip around Australia. It's about family and faith, marriage and mental health, adventure and honesty. Most of all, it's about failure, success, and learning to find yourself in the love of God." – Cecily Paterson, Author of Love, Tears & Autism
