As a twelve-year-old girl, Maria Housden’s vision of a happy
future included everything that society expects girls to yearn for:
a home, a husband, and, of course, children. Life had other
plans.
Unraveled is Housden’s riveting and thoughtful story of how,
after the death of her young daughter, she found the courage to
break away from her role as a wife and stay-at-home mom and strike
out on her own in search of a more fulfilling life. Leaving her
three surviving children in the primary custody of her husband,
Housden faced down the disbelief of friends and family and began a
journey that would ultimately lead her not only to the truth about
herself, but also to a deeper and more loving connection with her
children.
Housden writes about the emotional reckoning that led to her
decision and the ways in which she has become the best mother she
can be while no longer living with her children full-time. With
fierce honesty and the same gift for poignantly beautiful writing
that she demonstrated in the bestselling Hannah’s Gift, Housden
makes a valuable contribution to our collective conversation about
mothering, marriage, and the assumptions we make about the way life
is supposed to be. Unraveled is the remarkable story of one woman’s
choice not to live every girl’s dream . . . and instead to find her
own.
