To my total shock and delight, AWAKE found its way into Oprah’s Favorite Things 2025 issue — listed among the “Books That Held Us Through The Storm” this year.
In the article, Oprah’s editors write:
“There is no better companion for a heartbroken woman than a great heartbreak memoir, and beloved wellness guru Hatmaker has turned the story of her brutal, blindsiding divorce into one of the most uplifting takes on reclaiming one’s life we have seen. A Christian influencer who made waves when she embraced anti-racism and gay marriage, this mother of five turned her COVID-era nightmare into an affirmation of personal power, the importance of female friendships, and our deep need for joy.” —M.W.
To even see my book on those glossy pages — alongside authors I’ve long admired — is pure magic.
