What is the author's tone in the memoir, Love Warrior?

Melton’s tone throughout the memoir is reflective and wise. There is a sense of despair in Part One as Melton battles her poor self-image through bulimia and alcoholism. At her lowest points, her writing feels desperate and conveys her own sense of uncertainty with how she will continue to move forward through her difficulties. In Part Two when Melton is dealing with the possibility of divorce, her writing is infused with a profound sense of sadness and disappointment as she wonders how her children will fair and why she was unable to make her marriage work. Finally, in Part Three, Melton’s tone becomes more hopeful and powerful as she begins to understand who she really is, forges a connection with God, and realizes that she must rely on herself for her happiness rather than waiting on others to provide it for her.
