A review by danad
Unbound by Eleanor Bertin
4.0
She no longer thought of herself as living on borrowed time. Not since being set free from her past. The wariness she’d lived under had evaporated. The axe she’d dreaded falling had done so, but not on her. It had fallen on an undeserving Substitute. Far from her life unraveling, she found herself unbound.
Fear dropped away from her like limp rope, its bondage spent. “Although I am a great sinner, Jesus is a great rescuer. Nothing — not your charges, your manipulation, or your anger — can ever separate me from God’s unending love!”
Ruthie ran the entire gambit of emotions as one of the main characters in Eleanor's newest book. I was emotionally invested early on in the story. One moment I was rooting for her, and the next I wanted to shake her. I am humbled at how she stood by her mother-in-law, even when for her sake, she could have walked away. How many times do we stop and think of others grieving, in the midst of our own grief? It is also frightening at how easily life can change, and how a widow/widower must struggle with their "new normal." My main take-away from this book is to look for opportunities to
ease the burdens that our neighbors are struggling under the load of.
