Jen Hatmaker’s Awake is a brutally honest memoir about the traumatic end of a marriage, and the beginning of a different kind of love story. When Hatmaker’s 26-year marriage ended, she careened from being a shiny, popular leader to a divorced wreck on antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds who was parenting five kids alone with no clue about 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—this seemed nothing less than total failure.
In Awake, Hatmaker shares candid, surprisingly funny vignettes where she 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. This memoir is a critical analysis of grieving what’s lost, cherishing possibility, and entering the second half of life wide awake.
Jen Hatmaker has authored 14 books, including four New York Times bestsellers, and is the host of the award-winning podcast For the Love.
