Wayfinding is a memoir that doesn't flinch. In this memoir, Renee Gilmore journeys across landscapes, through memory, and into the aftermath of violence and abuse-with a sharp eye and an open heart. What emerges isn't just a story of survival but a testament to the unexpected places healing can take root: at the Talladega Speedway, the casket showroom of a small-town funeral home, a booth in a roadside Waffle House, and most of all, in the uncharted spaces within ourselves. Both tender and bracing, this is a book that refuses easy answers, inviting readers to sit with discomfort, discovery, and the quiet power of resilience.

-Jeannine Ouelette, author of The Part That Burns and and director of Writing in the Dark

Industry Reviews

"Both tender and bracing, this is a book that refuses easy answers, inviting readers to sit with discomfort, discovery, and the quiet power of resilience."

-Jeannine Ouelette, author of The Part That Burns and director of Writing in the Dark

"Her ability to write about painful experiences without sacrificing her sense of wit, her gift for incisive observation, and the need to make space for self-reflection is a testament to Gilmore's masterful gifts as a storyteller."

-Roy G. Guzm¡n, author of Catrachos: Poems

"This capable writer brings the reader through what is at times a difficult journey, yet her clear-eyed, innovative narrative driven by her inner strength makes this a worthy trip."

-Kate St. Vincent Vogl, author of Lost & Found and coauthor of Iron Horse Cowgirls
