Jen Hatmaker 'Awake' Memoir - New, Hardcover Book

A must-read for those seeking empowerment and insight. New York Times bestselling author Jen Hatmaker. A brutally honest, funny & revealing memoir about the traumatic end of her 26-yr-long marriage & the beginning of a different kind of love story. At 2:30 am on July 11th, 2020 Jen woke up to her husband of 26 yrs whispering in his phone to another woman from their bed. It was the end of life as she knew it. In the months that followed, she went from being a shiny funny, popular leader, to a divorced wreck on antidepressants & anti-anxiety meds parenting 5 kids alone w/ no clue about her own bank accounts. Having led millions of women for over a decade--urging them to embrace authenticity, find radical agency & create healthy relationships--this seemed nothing less than total failure. Jen shares for the 1st time what happened when she found herself completely lost--& how she made it to shore. Funny vignettes spanning 40 yrs of girlhood, marriage & parenting, Jen lays bare the disorienting upheaval of midlife--the implosion of a marriage, the unraveling of religious and cultural systems & the grief that accompanies change you didn't ask for. Drawing on her resources Jen dares to reckon w/the myths, half-truths & lies that brought her to this point. Refreshing candor, Jen explores a Midlife Renaissance--grieving what's lost, cherishing possibility & entering the second half of life wide awake. Local pick up Kaufman, TX.
