You may enjoy horror stories, but don’t read this one in the dark!

Memoirs are your go-to read! In Untamed, Glennon Doyle explores how she learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. This inspirational memoir shows how we must trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts—because the braver we are, the luckier we get.
Any one—or all—of these books would be a worthy addition to your reading list, but you don’t have to limit yourself to these titles. If a different book sparks your interest, that’s the one you should buy!
