An Oprah Bookclub 2016 Selection
The highly anticipated memoir by bestselling author Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior 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.
Customer Reviews
Riveting and insightful!
Great story of love, courage, and discovery. The author speaks from her heart, and we can learn from her journey. She does seem to be in a position of privilege, which allowed her to access tools for personal, physical, and spiritual growth that most suffering women do not have, and that distracted me in some chapters; however, the story is inspiring and very helpful.
What healing could look like
One of the best books I’ve ever read that tenderly guides you through her life and marriage. I’ve often wondered what it would like for a couple to pursue individual healing while seeking to restore a marriage; this memoir helped me see just how it could be done. Inspiring!
Holy Snap.
Usually not a fan of audiobooks but having her read it was like a friend sharing their story. The book itself inspires one to take a good long look at one’s self and love yourself. Glennon is open and honest, and it pays off exponentially.
