Love Warrior (Oprah's Book Club): A Memoir

Description

1 New York Times Bestseller The Newest Oprah’s Bookclub 2016 Selection The
highly anticipated new memoir by bestselling author Glennon Doyle Melton tells
the story of her journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her
marriage. Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel 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. 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. Love Warrior is the
story of one marriage, but it is also 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 astonishing 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, commit to living true―true to
themselves and to each other. Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring 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. This chronicle of
a beautiful, brutal journey speaks to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer
relationships and a more abundant, authentic life. Read more
