What Do I Tell My Daughter?: Hard-Won Wisdoms for Tomorrow's Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896361640)

For fans of Glennon Doyle's Love Warrior and Belle Burden's Strangers, a candid debut memoir about one woman's struggles with resentment and loss of identity--and eventual journey back to self--after leaving her dream job to focus on being a mom.

Katie Trexler was at the top of her game--thriving in her high-profile job as a local television news anchor, raising healthy young twins, and a leading a nearly idyllic life with her husband in the suburbs of Denver. Then believing it was the right decision for her family--and unaware of the toll it would take on her well-being--she gave up her dream career.

Years later, unsatisfied with where her path has led, Katie wonders, What do I tell my daughter about the choices I've made as a woman and mother? With raw honesty, What Do I Tell My Daughter? delves into the real and sometimes hidden costs of sacrificing parts of ourselves for the people we love--a reality Katie confronts first as a young mom and then again almost a decade later when her seemingly ideal life unexpectedly shatters.

Punctuated by hard-earned lessons about inner strength, self-love, and equality in relationships, this unflinchingly candid memoir is for any woman, any person, who has ever lost themselves while caring for others--and who is determined to reclaim their voice, redefine success, and model courage and awareness for the next generation.
