Undone is author Michele Cushatt’s quest to make peace
with a complicated life. It is an honest confession of a diagnosis of cancer
and the joys and disappointments of motherhood and marriage, ripe with regret
over what is and, yet, still hopeful for what could be.
With enough humor to ease the rawness of the story, Undone takes
the reader on a roller coaster two-year journey through the unexpectedness of
life. A look back makes Michele long for a do-over, the chance to make fewer
mistakes and leave less of a mess to clean up. A look forward makes Michele
wonder if all her attempts to control life have robbed her of the vibrancy of
it. And, in the middle of this internal chaos, she finds her once-pristine
house filled with the sights and sounds of three small, uncontainable children
who just want to be loved.
In the end, Undone turns complication into a
beautiful canvas, angst into joy, and the unknown into an adventure, revealing
that sometimes life’s most colorful and courageous stories are written right in
the middle of the mess.
I loved this book. Michelle writes with such tenderness that
it is like sitting with a good friend and sharing heart to heart. I appreciate
her candor with her struggles with being a step-mom, her cancer journey and
life in general. Her deep love for God comes shining through. I would recommend
this book to anyone who has felt that life has come undone.
I received this book free from Zondervan for being a member
of Michele's launch team.
