"A MASTERPIECE, you guys. This memoir by the great Jen Hatmaker *cannot* be missed. I was riveted as if to a thriller and touched/moved/inspired in ways I can't quite articulate yet. Just please read. You'll thank me"--Elin Hilderbrand, on Instagram. From Jen Hatmaker--beloved New York Times bestselling author and host of the For the Love podcast--a brutally honest, funny, and revealing memoir about the traumatic end of her twenty-six-year-long marriage, and the beginning of a different kind of love story. At 2:30 a.m. on July 11, 2020, Jen Hatmaker woke up to her husband of twenty-six years 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 and antianxiety meds, parenting five kids alone with no clue about the functioning of her own bank accounts. Having led millions of women for over a decade--urging them to embrace authenticity, find radical agency, and create healthy relationships--she felt like a catastrophic failure. In Awake, Jen shares for the first time what happened when she found herself completely lost at sea--and how she made it to shore. In candid, sur℗Ưprisingly funny vignettes spanning forty years of girlhood, marriage, and parenting, Jen lays bare the disorienting upheaval of midlife--the implosion of a marriage, the unraveling of religious and cultural systems, and the grief that accompanies change you didn't ask for. And, drawing on all resources--from without and within--Jen dares to question the systems beneath the whole house of cards, and to reckon with the myths, half-truths, and lies that brought her to this point. More than one woman's story, Awake is a critical analysis of the story given to all of us: the story of gender limitations, religious subservience, body shame, self-erasure. With refreshing candor, Jen explores a midlife renaissance--grieving what's lost, cherishing possibility, and entering the second half of life wide awake.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1873061</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1873061</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hatmaker, Jen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1873061002</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668083703/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Power in the Middle]]></title><description><![CDATA["Most women believe that midlife is the beginning of the end of their lives, but the truth is that midlife can be the beginning of a new and better life if you have the right values and mindset.

Her life was more than half over, yet the manager of a dentist's office in Victoria felt far from a junior senior. As she found out, mortality often knocks devastatingly unannounced. On the day she turned 50, her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Soon after, Ms. Lynch had a dream about interviewing women in their 50s in 50 countries around the world. Her mother died in October 2007, three months after her diagnosis, at age 88.
