Some marriages end with screaming fights or tearful conversations. Some end with lawyers and divided assets. Some end with quiet resignation at the kitchen table, long before the parties realize it. For Jen Hatmaker, the celebrated author of the New York Times bestseller, For the Love, it ended with five whispered words at 2:30 in the morning.
Hatmaker, who once hosted the HGTV series Your Big Family Renovation along with her husband Brandon and their five children, and essentially built a brand around their solid Christian family life, has chronicled her experience with divorce in a new memoir titled Awake.
