520    A literary memoir of one woman's journey from wife to 
       warrior, in the vein of breakout hits like Cheryl 
       Strayed's Wild and Jeannette Walls's The Glass Castle. At 
       thirty-six years old, Caitlin Myer is ready to start a 
       family with her husband. She has left behind the 
       restrictive confines of her Mormon upbringing and early 
       sexual trauma and believes she is now living her happily 
       ever after . . . when her body betrays her. In a single 
       week, she suffers the twin losses of a hysterectomy and 
       the death of her mother, and she is jolted into a terrible
       awakening that forces her to reckon with her past-and 
       future. This is the story of one woman's lifelong combat 
       with a culture-her "escape" from religion at age twenty, 
       only to find herself similarly entrapped in the gender 
       conventions of the secular culture at large, conventions 
       that teach girls and women to shape themselves to please 
       men, to become good wives and mothers. The biblical 
       characters Yael and Judith, wives who became assassins, 
       become her totems as she evolves from wifely submission to
       warrior independence. An electric debut that loudly 
       redefines our notions of womanhood, Wiving grapples with 
       the intersections of religion and sex, trauma and love, 
       sickness and mental illness, and a woman's harrowing 
       enlightenment. Building on the literary tradition of 
       difficult women who struggle to be heard, Wiving 
       introduces an urgent, striking voice to the scene of 
       contemporary women's writing at a time when we must 
       explode old myths and build new stories in their place.
