"From the author of the memoir Carry on, Warrior : Thoughts on Life Unarmed, this book traces the author's journey of self-discovery after the dissolution of her marriage, revealing how she found healing by rejecting gender standards and refusing to settle for a "good-enough" life. Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out - three happy children, a doting spouse, and a successful writing career- 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. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life. The story of one marriage, and the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. This memoir reveals how our ideals of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for a man and a woman to truly know one another - and it captures the beauty that unfolds when one couple commits to unlearning everything they've been taught so that they can finally, after thirteen years of marriage, fall in love. An account of how we are born to be warriors: strong, powerful, and brave; able to confront the pain and claim the love that exists for us all. For anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, authentic life. Glennon Doyle Melton is the founder of the online community at Momastry.com"--Provided by publisher.
