Become your own warrior

In her gripping and emotionally charged memoir, Love Warrior, Glennon Doyle takes us on her journey through her troubled marriage and the events of her early adolescence that have forced her to reexamine her life. What appears to be one woman's strive to repair a marriage, in fact, is actually a story of one woman's journey to understand, forgive, and know herself.

Reading Love Warrior is like walking into a dream where you're watching the character being told to believe the things you've been taught to believe, and her thoughts and feelings are everything you've ever felt. Then suddenly you're emerging from the dream enlightened, emotionally drained, and ready to face your life in a new way.

The middle does have a lull and starts to feel a little repetitive, but overall, Love Warrior is an emotionally raw, vulnerable, and beautifully written memoir, and Doyle powerfully delivers what so many women fear: speaking out against of what we're taught to alter/hide/never be.

Love Warrior is not simply one woman's journey; it is a call to women to wake up and be the warrior of her own life.
