Awake: A Memoir is a 2025 nonfiction memoir by Jen Hatmaker that examines the sudden collapse of her 26-year marriage and the wider personal and cultural upheaval that followed. Written in a candid, reflective style, the book moves across roughly four decades of her life, including girlhood, marriage, motherhood, faith formation, and midlife reinvention. Rather than focusing only on one relationship crisis, the memoir uses that rupture as a lens for exploring larger systems of gender expectations, religious subservience, body shame, and self-erasure that shaped her identity. Hatmaker presents the book as both a personal reckoning and a cultural critique, combining vulnerability, humor, and clear-eyed analysis. Its purpose is not simply to recount loss, but to trace how a woman rebuilds a sense of self after the collapse of narratives she once trusted.
