Awake : A brutally honest memoir from New York Times bestselling author, Jen Hatmaker

`I cannot think of a single person who wouldn't find hope and inspiration in these pages.' - Mel Robbins, author of The Let Them Theory'A powerful howl of honesty that will open the eyes and hearts of every single woman who sees herself in its pages, which is to say, all of us. This book is the best kind of medicine.' - Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance and Signal Fires`This book doesn't just speak to your heart, it revives it.' - Jenna Kutcher, author of How Are You, Really?Perfect for fans of Untamed, Awake is a powerful memoir of self-discovery, authenticity and finding the courage to rethink and rebuild your life after heartbreak. A truly brilliant read, it's also a fascinating account of a woman learning to question the rules of the oppressively patriarchal US church in which she grew up. At 2.30 a.m. on July 11, 2020, author and mother-of-five Jen Hatmaker woke up to her husband of twenty-six years voice texting his girlfriend in bed next to her. Life as she knew it was over. In Awake, she scrutinises the toxic systems that led to the end of her marriage, sharing intimate, sometimes hilariously hard moments along the way. Beautifully written and shot through with deep emotion, this is a story of hope and resilience, of unpicking the past and challenging limitations around the kind of person you can be. It's a love letter to friendship, family and the power of community, and a roadmap showing how to cope, survive and even thrive when all seems lost.
