Awake by Jen Hatmaker

Product Details

About the Book

At 2:30 a.m. on July 11, 2020, Jen Hatmaker woke up to her husband of twenty-six years whispering into his phone to another woman from their shared 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 — a New York Times bestselling author and beloved podcast host who had spent over a decade urging millions of women to embrace authenticity and radical agency — to a divorced wreck on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication, parenting five kids alone with no clue about her own bank accounts. In Awake, Jen shares for the first time what happened when she found herself completely lost at sea, and how she made it back to shore.

Told in raw vignettes spanning forty years and structured in three parts — The End, The Middle, and The Beginning, mirroring death, liminal space, and rebirth — the memoir traces the disorienting upheaval of midlife alongside the unraveling of the religious and cultural systems that shaped Hatmaker's identity from the start, including her marriage to Brandon at age nineteen and a lifelong immersion in evangelical purity culture and patriarchal expectation. Ultimately, Awake is a story of hope: a personal renaissance in which Hatmaker explores what it means to shed the structures, roles, and narratives that no longer serve us, emerging on the other side of heartbreak stronger, more authentic, and, as the title suggests, beautifully awake to the life she's meant to live.

Critical Acclaim

Awake became an instant New York Times bestseller. Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Good Enough, called it "a gorgeous, raw, and deeply convincing memoir... a book for all of us who need to feel brave again," while Maria Shriver's The Sunday Paper described it as "stunningly candid," praising how it "reads with a rawness normally only found between lifelong friends." Jenna Kutcher, bestselling author of How Are You, Really, called it "Jen Hatmaker at her rawest and most courageous," and Harper's Bazaar highlighted its exploration of what it means to be a woman confronting midlife reinvention.
