Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. She quit being good so she could be free. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world’s expectations of her. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. This was her own voice-the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high.

Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent-even from ourselves. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends.
