Unbound by Jamie Sumner

Has your path to motherhood looked different than the other women around you? While many women do have "normal" pregnancies, for some women, there can be challenges. Perhaps getting pregnant was an unexpected challenge. For others, things don't go as planned with the pregnancy resulting in miscarriage or other difficulties. Jamie Sumner in Unbound shares her journey to motherhood, which involved a lot of courage through unexpected challenges. Through her story, I believe other women can gain courage.
Unbound is sort of a motherhood memoir of her story from trying to conceive to giving birth paired with women throughout the Bible. It is divided into four sections: The Wanting, The Waiting, The Getting and The Appreciating. She shares her story in detail but with beautiful prose as she and her husband struggled through infertility to having their child. It is a beautifully told story where she bares her heart and soul. Through her story she effortlessly tells the stories of Bible women such as Hannah, Naomi, Hagar and Sarah, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, among others. In each chapter she shares details of her life and also shares how the Bible women relate to her story. At the end of each chapter are a few questions to think about as well as Scriptures to reference.

Through reading Unbound, I truly have a new appreciation for those women who have faced infertility challenges. That was not my story but I had other challenges that I could relate to with her story. This book would be especially encouraging for women who have had pregnancy challenges and/or children with special needs. I especially like how real and honest Sumner is. I also like how she relates her story to the Bible women and really brings their stories to life for the reader.I highly recommend Unbound.
