For fans of Eat Pray Love and Untamed, a soulful memoir of motherhood, mysticism, and plant medicine that chronicles one woman’s journey of healing and transformation in the lush wilds of Kauai.
What if your greatest teachers weren't shamans in the jungle—but the people you eat breakfast with every morning?
If you're standing at one of life's great thresholds—a divorce, an empty nest, grief, illness, a move, a spiritual awakening, or simply the quiet realization that your old life no longer fits—The Mother Vine is for you.
After leaving behind a successful career producing and directing hit television shows in Hollywood, Shannon Nering moves her family to the lush North Shore of Kauai, hoping to find a slower, simpler, more meaningful life. Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with the parts of herself she can no longer ignore.
As motherhood, marriage, loss, and longing unravel the identity she's worked so hard to build, an unexpected invitation to experience ayahuasca opens the door to profound self-discovery. But the greatest healing doesn't happen in the jungle. It unfolds in the ordinary moments at home, where her husband and two sons become the mirrors that gently—and sometimes painfully—reflect her back to herself.
Raw, funny, vulnerable, and deeply hopeful, The Mother Vine is more than a memoir about plant medicine. It's a story about the courage to question your life, the wisdom hidden inside life's hardest seasons, and the unexpected ways healing finds us when we're finally willing to pay attention.
Perfect for readers of Eat Pray Love, Untamed, and memoirs of personal growth and spiritual transformation, The Mother Vine reminds us that our greatest teachers are often the people and experiences we've been overlooking all along.
