New Memoir Coming 2026: The Purpose of Getting Lost - Sometimes the only way forward is to lose your way completely
About the Book
The Purpose of Getting Lost traces a deeply personal journey of identity, reinvention, and the search for belonging in midlife.
Through stories gathered from quiet mornings, unexpected detours, and the places that shaped her, Tracy invites readers to consider what it truly means to start over — not because life fell apart, but because something new began to call.
This book is a reflection on the beauty of uncertainty, the wisdom that comes with age, and the powerful freedom of finally choosing yourself.
It is for anyone who has ever felt between worlds, in transition, or quietly rebuilding their life from the inside out.
