A life between two countries, and the meaning of home.
Born into the turbulence of Belfast during the troubles, Patricia Wilson grew up with grit, humor and an unshakable love for people. Finding My Way Back Home traces her journey from a close-knit Irish childhood through an unexpected romance, immigration to the Netherlands, and the building of a life shaped by love, family, work, and cultural collision.
With honesty, warmth, and quiet wisdom, Wilson reflects on marriage, motherhood, loss, belonging and the resilience it takes to start over in a foreign land - without losing yourself in the process. This memoir is both deeply personal and universally resonant, giving voice to anyone who has ever left home, built a new one, and wondered where they truly belong.
Ultimately, this is a story about identity, courage, and coming full circle - a heartfelt tribute to the places that shape us, the people who sustain us, and the long journey of finding our way back home.
