, , , ,

Series: The Mosaic Collection
Publisher: Leaf & Blade Publishing
Release Date: September 4, 2019
Genre: Contemporary Women's Fiction

Ruthie Adrian loves ranch life with her handsome husband, Mac and his family. But her fading hope for a child dissolves when Mac is killed in a crash along with his brother and father.

Added to their heartbreak, Ruthie and her mother-in-law, Naomi now face rejection by her sister-in-law, and impossible barriers as they try to protect their land.

Jake, a self-styled prophet steps up with a bizarre offer. A Godsend or a trap?

With raw grief, unexpected humor, and life-giving grace, Unbound is a modern twist on a timeless tale of the unique bond between two widows who harbor a few secrets of their own.
My Review ♥️


We all have our regrets from the past but some haunt us more than others, especially those that we have kept to ourselves, unable to be free from its gripping vice, out of fear.  Unbound takes you into the life of Ruthie and Naomi, two women severely affected by tragedy, and both haunted and burdened by past sins.  They are left with only each other to navigate through the murky waters of loss, faith, and forgiveness.  What Unbound should means is grace, as both women learn what grace truly means.

Their journey is heartbreaking, and at times incredibly hard to read, not only due to circumstances, but because of certain people that make their world more difficult than it already is, and gives the novel an undeniable darkness, which also shows the talent of the author.

Faith plays a major role throughout the narrative, with a focus on grace and forgiveness, which is perfect for anyone who feels like their sins are unforgivable.  By the end you will have a clear understanding of grace and hopefully have a smile on your face like I did, the hope emanating from the novel contagious.

Another wonderful story in the Mosaic Collection!

About the Author

In a fit of optimism at age eleven, Eleanor Bertin began her first novel by numbering a stack of 100 pages. Two of them got filled with words. Lifelines, her first completed novel, was published in 2016, followed by Pall of Silence in 2017, a memoir about her late son Paul.

She holds a college diploma in Communications and worked in agriculture journalism until the birth of her first child. The family eventually grew to include one daughter and six sons (the youngest with Down syndrome) whom she home-educated for 25 years.

Eleanor lives with her husband and youngest son, Timothy, amidst the ongoing renovation of a century home in central Alberta where she reads, writes, sweeps up construction rubble and blogs about a sometimes elusive contentment at jewelofcontentment.wordpress.com.
