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"
