Awake is a raw, candid memoir chronicling Jen Hatmaker's midlife upheaval, beginning with the shocking discovery of her husband's infidelity after 26 years of marriage on July 11, 2020, which led to divorce, single parenting five children, and a profound unraveling of her evangelical identity and cultural systems. Through vignettes spanning 40 years, Hatmaker explores grief, self-reinvention, and deconstructing toxic influences like patriarchal norms, purity culture, body shame, and rigid faith structures that contributed to her personal and professional crises, including backlash for her stances on racism and LGBTQ rights. Ultimately, it celebrates a "Midlife Renaissance" of hope, authenticity, and inner strength, questioning what to hold onto versus release while embracing the body's wisdom, community support, and the freedom of starting over, offering inspiration for anyone navigating loss, change, or spiritual reckoning.
