Book Bio : The
Newest Oprah Book Club 2016 Selection: Love
Warrior
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. |
