Emily
Winslow and her husband, Trevor, have moved with their daughter to
California for a fresh beginning, but their ties to North Carolina
keep them from feeling like they are completely committed. Years of
fertility treatments and the resulting financial hardships have taken
their toll on their sense of self-confidence and self-worth. They
long to have refreshment breathed into their lives and their
relationship.
Robin
Jones Gunn explores the importance to women of close, nurturing
relationships with other women. She does not ignore the complications
that often arise in the search for these types of connections,
complications caused by being judged, by insecurity, and by time
constraints to name a few. God can use loving, sisterly relationships
among women to heal and to draw women and their families closer to
Him. Emily reluctantly steps out of her comfort zone and is embraced
by just such a group of women. Readers may look at their own
relationships, cherishing them or looking for ways to go deeper.
I
recommend Becoming Us
to those looking for a sweet story of renewal, and to those who have
been hurt and want to try again to connect. I am grateful to have
received a copy from Multnomah via NetGalley in exchange for my
honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive
review and received no monetary compensation.
