Rendition Toward Books Unravelled: Life as a Mother

Maria Housden tells of her own transformation, as a mother, a wife and a woman, as she struggled to cope with the death of her daughter Hannah and make the hardest decision of her life. From the author of the bestselling Hannah's Gift. At the age of 36, instead of enjoying the perfect family life she had imagined as a child, Maria felt judged and found wanting by others. She realised that, no matter how much she still loved her husband and how powerful her bond of love was with her children, she had to change her life radically -- she had to make it her own again. What followed was an emotional and enlightening search for herself. Written in the same moving, lyrical style as Hannah's Gift, the story unfolds in a series of painful, joyful and humorous moments. At times the story is heart-wrenchingly sad but ultimately it is uplifting and inspiring.

Crit Epithetical Books Unravelled: Life as a Mother

I have read the previous book yeons ago but still remember it well as soon as you hear about the red shoes you remember Hannah . I found i t easy to read on the whole but still heart wrenching in life we all love to judge others and how we would do things differently but always you dont know what u would do til it happens to you !! so although you think at times how could she do that at other times it may be better for the parents to live separate lives than keep together for the sake of the

Beautifully written, but this is a confronting read. A mother who has lost one child to cancer, walks away from her marriage, leaving her three children in the primary of their father, the husband who was somewhat controlling and almost verbally abusive to his wife. Interesting read.

Another memoir touted as one thing, but really about something else. This isn't truly a parenting memoir or about being a different kind of mother. It's about finding her identity as a person outside of motherhood, which Housden seems half reconciled to. Her first book, which I haven't read, is about the death of her oldest child. The subject matter of that book and this one has a wide audience, and though the story in Unraveled is unique, the writing is not particularly good.

I flew through this book, read 2/3 of it on flight from Paris to Dulles. I came across this book because I have read several of the author's now 2nd ex-husband's poetry collection and commentaries. Roger Housden brings so mych flavor to the poems, and he mentions Maria Housden (Unraveled author) in the collection from while they were happily married (happily in love) and then in the more recent collection from after they split 6 years into marriage (putting his heart back together). The premise

I liked the way the book was written, short chapters - I got through it quickly. I thought the content would be something I could relate too, a womans battle to find herself, but I couldn't relate to the author leaving her children, however brave she may seem I just couldn't make the choices she did - I totally get the need to be independant and find oneself but not at expense of the children - I don't think women always have to be primary carers but for me it would be a no-brainer.

SYN: Maria write of her journey through losing her daughter Hannah to cancer, falling marriage, and finding love again with Roger and being independent.I thought it was nicely written and that Maria's journey of battling life and getting over things was definitely note worthy.
