As I was growing up I never thought I would become a parent. I somehow knew it wasn’t in life plan God had for me. I admire the women who knew they would become mothers and have chosen to become awesome moms. For some of the women getting pregnant and having a miscarriage was on the life plan. In Jamie Sumner’s book Unbound she takes you on the journey of becoming pregnant through infertilization. Man, what an emotional and scary journey it was.
I enjoyed how in depth, passionate, and descriptive Sumner shared her experience. My heart hurt for her as she described having a miscarriage. Then when she gets pregnant and the preganancy holds how her son ends up with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Our God is awesome and mother and baby make it through. When she describes her son having to get a trach tube and learning to live with a trach tube as a baby. I felt the young man’s pain and everyone else’s fear. I live with a trach tube as an adult and it is scary at times. I cannot imagine having to handle a trach tube as a child.
This is a great book. I recommend it for anyone, especially anyone who has experience the pain of infertility and miscarriage. This book gives you hope and a way to grieve.
