| Synopsis In this continuation of her bestselling sensation EAT, PRAY, LOVE, Elizabeth Gilbert comes to realize that finding the man of her dreams might be easier than staying married to him. Though both Gilbert and Felipe, the beau she met in Bali (the "Love" portion of her previous book), had sworn off the institute of marriage after disastrous divorces, they were actively encouraged to reconsider when Homeland Security threw Felipe out of the country. After trading vows, they each bucked against the restrictions of commitment, but eventually they discovered an unusual formula for wedded bliss. Amidst the pressure of following up a blockbuster, Gilbert proves that she does not require a grandiose quest through lush, exotic locales to evoke the pleasure and serenity of spiritual renewal.
Publisher's Note The author chronicles how the U.S. government gave her and her Brazilian-born lover, Felipe, an ultimatum--marry or Felipe cannot enter the country again--and how she tackled her fears through research and personal reflection on the enduring institution of marriage.

All rights reserved.Committed BY Elizabeth Gilbert Brand New Audiobook – Still in Shrink Wrap ... At the end of her best-selling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who had been living in Indonesia where they met. Resettling to America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but they also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances, get married. (Both were survivors of previous bad divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. Government which-after detaining Felipe at an American border crossing--gave the couple a chance: They could either get married or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively "sentenced to web," Gilbert decided to tackle her fears of matrimony by becoming a student of the institution. Over the next ten months, as she and Felipe wandered haphazardly across Southeast Asia, waiting for the U.S. government to permit them to return to America and get married, the only thing she talked about, read about, or thought about was this perplexing subject. Committed tells the story of one woman's efforts--through contemplation, historical study, and extensive conversation with every soul she encountered along the way--to make peace with marriage before she entered its estate once more. Told with Gilbert's trademark wit, intelligence, and compassion, the book attemps to "turn on all the lights" when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family-tradition, social expectations, divorce risks, and humbling responsibilities. Myths are debuked, fears are unthreaded, historical perspective is sought, and romatic fantasies are ultimately exchanged for vital emotional compromises. In the end, the book becomes a kind of celebration of love--with all the complexity and consequences that real love, in the real world, will always entail.
