I like the idea of connecting to an image, like a certain kind of tree or plant. I can't think of one right now, but a visual image might be nice. Our Outland/Inland.

I love the alliteration- all the B's! The subtitle then reveals it to be a timely topic.

The working title for my nonfiction book is 'Being in Nature: At Home on Planet Earth.'
It is an ecopsychological guide to reconnecting with trees and sky and, perhaps, your sanity. I would like the title to be something that draws you in and makes you a little hungry for the kind of nourishment and peace that can be found in nature.

Barbara, I, too, am working on a book that connects inner and outer nature. Just posted on the last page of the discussion, if you want to find me. I, too, am struggling with my title. I like the idea of Reconnecting to trees, sky, and your sanity. It's a little less soft and more provocative. I think of title of the William Stafford Poem: The Peace of Wild Things. This could be a lovely title for the book. Hope this helps. Mary

Mary, you've got me reading William Stafford's poems now! Thank you for the suggestion: The Peace of Wild Things. I'll be working on the book proposal soon, or what I call my "Solicitation for Rejection Letters." Haha.

Hello. I'm new to She Writes, also. The title of my YA sci-fi triller: MY EVER AFTER REASON
Amelia Dorin does everything by the book—nabs a brilliant boyfriend, graduates early, enrolls in an exemplary university—until she witnesses murder. The death is ruled a heart attack, and Amelia is desperate for someone to believe what she saw. Desperate because the killer sends a message: Amelia is next. The Good, a group of genetically enhanced guardians, know about the murder; because of their prophetic leader’s last vision, they also know Amelia will be important to their hunt for the killer. The vision did not specify how or why, but it did suggest that Amelia would be more important to one of the Good in particular: the dark and inscrutable Victor. Amelia and Victor’s attraction ignites despite the fact that Amelia must decide whether or not to undergo her own genetic enhancement in order to save herself and the people she loves.

Intriguing. Think you want "My Ever-After Reason" though?

I considered the hyphen, did a little research and decided against it. Do you like it better with the hyphen?

Question on subtitle and memoir:
If the piece is memoir, and the title does not suggest or outright use the word (story or memoir), will the book just get shelved in self help or health(in my case)?
I'm curious because self help is not where I would go in a bookstore to look for the latest memoirs or personal stories.
Working titles
The Light Daughter: A Memoir
The Light Daughter: Love, Loss and Life after
The Light Daughter: Living with epilepsy
The story is essentially about loss and love and how the things that I never could have anticipated, ended up being what got me through.The story is a memoir (and ms not complete) that includes how epilepsy touched every part of the process.
Thanks
Jessica
