Wilderness mum : how I left city life behind to raise a family in nature

Barron, Kate2026
Books, Manuscripts
For years, Kate Barron lived a conventional life as a dedicated teacher in London - but her spirit longed for wilder horizons. Trading her classroom for a backpack, she embarked on a journey that led her from the jungles of Colombia to a windswept Scottish clifftop, where a chance encounter changed everything. There she met Chris Lewis, a homeless ex-paratrooper walking the UK's entire coastline to heal his past. Their meeting sparked an epic love story and a shared mission: living in a tent for years while raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity. But Kate's biggest challenge was yet to come. Choosing to have a baby without pausing their journey, she navigated pregnancy, childbirth and the realities of new motherhood while living completely outdoors. This title is the extraordinary true story of what happens when you refuse to follow the script.
