Miriam Lancewood was born in 1983 and grew up in the Netherlands. She was a competitive pole-vaulter and studied Physical Education before travelling in Africa and India. There she met her New Zealand husband, and together they travelled for many years through Asia and Papua New Guinea before arriving in New Zealand. They lived primitively in the remote wilderness of the Southern Alps, and Miriam wrote her first book Woman in the Wilderness about that time.
'Staying with a polygamous cult leader in Austria, avoiding bears
in Bulgaria and a terrifying escape from a deranged West Australian
who was convinced their lifestyle included free love. It's all in
Miriam's new book.' Mark Crysell, Sunday Star Times
'A compelling yarn of derring do. There's a strong sense in Wild At
Heart of Lancewood's focus, drive, determination and unquenchable
thirst for adventure. She writes of the positive effects of this
lifestyle on her body and mind and describes in vivid detail the
sharpening of her senses, boundless energy and contentment. While
not everyone will be inspired enough to give away all their
possessions and go bush, this engaging memoir certainly serves as a
vicarious thrill.' Kiran Dass, Kete
'Another bestseller. For those who dream of casting aside material
possessions, walking off into the wilderness and living off and in
tune with the land.' Alex Bligh, Otago Daily Times
'Gripping sequel to the international bestseller Woman in the
Wilderness.' Professional Skipper
