Publisher's Synopsis
Just when Glennon Doyle was beginning to feel like she had it all figured out-three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times bestseller list-her husband revealed his infidelity, and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. But in the midst of her crisis, she knew to hold onto what she had discovered during recovery: that deepest pain holds within it an invitation to a richer life. Gorgeous and inspiring, this astonishing memoir reveals that healing is possible when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. It's an account of how we are born to be warriors-strong, powerful, brave, and able to confront pain and to claim love. Chronicling Glennon's beautiful, brutal journey, it will speak to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, authentic life.
