Unbridled A Memoir by Barbara McNally

Unbridled Book Cover
Unbridled: A Memoir by Barbara McNally is one of the most interesting memoir which I have read to date. Barbara was brought up as a Baptist. She had always been the obedient daughter who engaged in youth activities at the church and played the role of an obedient and subservient wife to her husband. Her world seems picture perfect however it was far from that as she felt really restrained and cage in by her current life. She felt stifled and it ended up in her having an affair resulting in the end of her marriage.
It felt like a time of awakening when she got a divorced. Barbara went on a self discovery journey about her Irish roots and herself. She went through a whole series of emotions highs and lows as she rediscovered herself and became more in-sync with herself and accepting herself for who she really is.
My thoughts
Reading the book got me thinking of how important it is to understand and be true to yourself. It is one thing to live the life which you are comfortable with. You shouldn’t let others dictate how you should live your life but be in control of your own life.
You can purchase Unbridled: A Memoir by Barbara McNally from Amazon.

Sounds like an excellent book. It’s so easy to become caught up in someone else, their needs — them, period. And books that remind you to pay special attention to ourselves, are almost always a must-reed. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I’ve never even heard of this author, self discovery stories always interest me, but I’m just not a fan of affairs or divorce, so I’ll look and see if she had other stories 🙂

Understanding yourself and then accepting yourself are two very hard things to do for many people. This sounds like such a great book. One that would probably leave you thinking extremely hard about your own life.
