You guys — I’m honestly undone. The New York Times just included AWAKE on its prestigious list of the 100 Notable Books of 2025!
Their editors wrote:
“Hatmaker was a queen bee in the world of online evangelicals — a writer, podcaster, and pastor’s wife happily raising five children and tending to a thriving media career. Then Hatmaker turned over in bed one night in July 2020 after hearing her husband voice-texting ‘I can’t quit you’ to another woman, and watched her world fall apart. This nervy, lucent memoir traces her life after that very public split.” — The New York Times Book Review
To see AWAKE among the year’s most remarkable books — alongside so many authors I deeply admire — is beyond anything I could’ve imagined when I sat down to tell the truth about my own story.
It’s wild. It’s humbling. And it’s a full-circle reminder of what happens when we choose honesty over fear.
If you haven’t read it yet, now’s the moment to join the conversation. Get your copy of AWAKE!
