Book Review
Untamed
Knife Edge
BY GLENNON DOYLE Who were you before the world told you who to be? Part inspiration, part memoir, ‘Untamed’ explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and instead dare to listen to, and trust in, the voice deep inside us. From the beloved New York Times bestselling author, speaker and activist, Glennon Doyle. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, ‘Untamed’ is both an intimate memoir and a galvanising wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is also the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honour our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts. ‘Untamed’ shows us how to be brave and, as Glennon insists, “The braver we are, the luckier we get.”
