Love Warrior: A Memoir

#1 New York Times BestsellerOprah?s Book Club 2016 Selection"Riveting?a worthy investment?this book has real wisdom."?New York Times Book Review"Provocative... I adore her honesty, her vulnerability, and her no-nonsense wisdom, and I know you will, too." ? Oprah WinfreyA memoir of betrayal and self-discovery by bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring account of how we are all 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.Review"A testament to the power of vulnerability. Glennon shows us the clearest meaning of 'To thine ownself be true.' It's as if she reached into her heart, captured the raw emotions there, and translated them into words that anyone who's ever known pain or shame ? in other words, every human on the planet ? can relate to. She's bravely put everything on the table for the whole world to see."? Oprah Winfrey (Oprah's Book Club 2016 selection)"Glennon is not merely relaying a narrative; she is offering her story with the hope and purpose of connection. Love Warrior... draws you in close, as if the author is talking to you, and only to you. Listening to such a warm and emotionally intelligent author is a worthy investment in a course on difficult conversations. But I suspect that... what will win you over is all the 'terrible magic' that happens when things fall apart."? New York Times Book Review "An incredible, dark, poignant, vulnerable personal account about surviving rock bottom and finding a better life. You will be inspired by [Glennon's] resilience, strength, and womanhood."? Real Simple"This memoir isn?t really about Glennon rebuilding her relationship with her husband; it's about Glennon rebuilding her relationship with herself. It?s about one woman letting go of the gendered messages she?s been surrounded by her entire life, and communing with her fullest, most authentic self. Utterly refreshing and... just totally badass."? Bustle.com"Love Warrior reaches a depth of truth and power and emotional gravity that is rarely seen in the world, and even more rarely spoken aloud. Glennon's story about the resurrection of her marriage (a tale of a woman daring to come into her body, and a man daring to come into his mind, and the two of them daring ? with outrageous courage ? to trust each other) is something beyond merely inspirational; it is epic. I think of this book as the vital, long-overdue, much-needed sister memoir to Eat Pray Love. Glennon lifts the roof off her whole house ? her whole life ? and examines everything, right out in the open. She has, indeed, become a Love Warrior. This book is an act of love and truth and generosity; it will change lives."? Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love"This is a book about what it means to be human ? to wrestle with love, hurt, addiction, vulnerability, intimacy, and grace. Love Warrior blew me away. We can all find pieces of our own stories reflected in Glennon's powerful words. We are so lucky to have her courage and wisdom in the world. We need this kind of truth telling if we are ever going to find our way back to each other."? Bren
