520 "There is a voice of longing inside every woman. We strive
so mightily to be good: good mothers, daughters, partners,
employees, citizens, and friends. We believe all this
striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us
feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We
look at our lives, relationships, and world, and wonder:
Wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We
quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be
grateful. We hide our simmering discontent--even from
ourselves. Until we reach our boiling point. Four years
ago, Glennon Doyle--bestselling Oprah-endorsed author,
renowned activist and humanitarian, wife and mother of
three--was speaking at a conference when a woman entered
the room. Glennon looked at her and fell instantly in
love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first,
Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. Soon
she realized that they came to her from within. Glennon
was finally hearing her own voice--the voice that had been
silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing
addictions, and institutional allegiances. This was the
voice of the girl Glennon had been before the world told
her who to be. She vowed to never again abandon herself.
She decided to build a life of her own--one based on her
individual desire, intuition, and imagination. She would
reclaim her true, untamed self. Soulful and uproarious,
forceful and tender, Untamed is both a memoir and a
galvanizing wake-up call. It offers a piercing,
electrifying examination of the restrictive expectations
women are issued from birth; shows how hustling to meet
those expectations leaves women feeling dissatisfied and
lost; and reveals that when we quit abandoning ourselves
and instead abandon the world's expectations of us, we
become women who can finally look at our lives and
recognize: There She Is. Untamed shows us how to be brave.
As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get"
