After a downward spiral into “drinking, drugging, and purging,” Doyle found sobriety and the authentic self she’d been suppressing.
Emblematically arranged into three sections-“Caged,” “Keys,” “Freedom”-the narrative offers, among other elements, vignettes about the soulful author’s girlhood, when she was bulimic and felt like a zoo animal, a “caged girl made for wide-open skies.” She followed the path that seemed right and appropriate based on her Catholic upbringing and adolescent conditioning. “Four years ago,” she writes, “married to the father of my three children, I fell in love with a woman.” That woman, Abby Wambach, would become her wife. In her third book, Doyle ( Love Warrior, 2016, etc.) begins with a life-changing event. More life reflections from the bestselling author on themes of societal captivity and the catharsis of personal freedom.
