Didascalia

I woke up to a flurry of texts from my team. “Jen, get ready for some incredible news.” • @amazonbooks named AWAKE the #1 memoir of 2025, #7 across all genres. What an honor, @sarahgelman! • @oprahdaily listed it as one of the “Books that Held Us Through the Storm” this year. •AWAKE was featured in @usatoday and @cbsmornings today. •AWAKE is a finalist in two 2025 Best Of categories on @goodreads I don’t know how to digest writing the #1 memoir of the entire year. I don’t know how to manage any of this, honestly. I just sat on my bathroom floor. Thank you for reading, recommending, gifting, sharing, listening to, loaning, checking out, downloading, and responding to AWAKE. I am overwhelmed. This is now our story for sure. It is far beyond me. It has become something new out there in your hands. You are sending it further and further. I am stunned at what you are doing, what you are deciding, what you are changing after reading it. Outrageous. I surely love you, community. AWAKE has now gone beyond our little coven, so thank you for being so welcoming to new folks here. They are so lucky to have stumbled on this community. Tag anyone who might want to read this thing and see what the deal is. Let’s find out what it will become in their hands. What an honor. What humbling joy. jenhatmaker.com/awake @avidreaderpress
