Undomesticated

To the outside world, Jade’s life seems like the typical American dream, but to her, there’s a haunting void. When she reaches midlife, she questions who she really is and discovers she’s no longer willing to sit on the sidelines. A chance encounter with a mysterious man opens the door to the yearnings she long denied, awakening her true essence.

Undomesticated is a story inspired by actual events, fictionalizing author Indy West’s own midlife transformation. Like Jade, Indy found the drive and tenacity to push through painful emotions, refuse a mundane existence, and discover a sense of true authenticity and purpose.

With deeply provocative prose, this story is both heartbreaking and self-awakening. It is the passionate portrayal of one woman allowing her spirit to fly free. Jade’s experiences challenge you to open up to the unrelenting urge to become more in midlife. The nagging impulse to be untethered may look different for everyone, but we must stop ignoring the whispers of our authentic souls and live the extraordinary lives we deserve.
