Love Warrior

Product Information

As we climb the popcorn-littered stairs, the drum of the marching band fills my chest, the smell of hot dogs fills my lungs, and the roar of the crowd fills my head. Love Warrior presents an intense and absorbing narrative while reaching for something bigger and more quixotic, the mystery of intimacy itself.

It will take me another twenty years to understand what my fourteen-year-old sister is trying to tell me. My sister’s legs are long and she uses them to move through the world easily and beautifully and confidently.After both of them have fought to become the person's whom they've always wanted to be, they promise to stay together “today. I want them to see the beauty and power that come from healing their relationship with themselves, which Glennon describes as becoming a “Love Warrior. It was Painfully true and so scary because I felt every word because it’s my story too as it must be for many others.

The process begins around four o’clock, when I’m steady enough to get out of bed and begin drinking again. She gives words to things many women have felt or experienced yet may have been unable to form into cohesive thoughts or sentences.Strangers come close and pat my curls, but when I speak to them with confidence and clarity, their eyes widen and they pull back. One of the gifts of “Love Warrior” is that Glennon Doyle Melton has had those difficult — one might say impossible — conversations again and again. It will be a hard road to send it out there and many will misunderstand or minimize or explain it away but the pain will be worth it because this writing is a giant battle cry of surrender.
