Untamed: A Novel
by Glennon Doyle
"The braver we are, the luckier we get."
🐆 MEMOIR | SELF-HELP | FEMALE EMPOWERMENT
A #1 New York Times Bestseller and Reese’s Book Club Pick. An intimate exploration of finding peace when we stop meeting expectations and start trusting our internal voice.
Extended Synopsis
In her most revealing work to date, activist and speaker Glennon Doyle explores the "voice of longing" inside every woman. For years, Doyle denied her own discontent, striving to be the "good" partner, mother, and employee that society demanded. Everything changed when she realized that the cultural conditioning and institutional allegiances she had followed were actually numbing her true self. By deciding to quit pleasing and start living, she discovered that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live.
Untamed is both a soulful memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It chronicles the journey of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and making peace with the body. Doyle insists that the wholeness of a family depends not on its structure, but on each member's ability to bring her full, "untamed" self to the table. This narrative serves as a roadmap for any reader looking to set boundaries, honor their heartbreak, and unleash their truest instincts.
