What came before #1 New York Times bestseller UNTAMED, Glennon Doyle's journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her marriage.

THE NEWEST OPRAH BOOK CLUB 2016 SELECTION! A TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF VULNERABILITY . . . 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 CAN RELATE TO — OPRAH WINFREY, Oprah's Book Club 2016 selection EPIC — ELIZABETH GILBERT | BLEW ME AWAY — BRENE BROWN

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 realise that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, rock bottom was a familiar place to Glennon. 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 internalising our culture's standards of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for men and women to ever really 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, fall in love.

Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring tale 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.
