Review: Unwanted

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Keep a box of tissues near by!
From the very beginning this book had me by the heart strings! I did not bother to read the blurb so I really didn't know what it was about. My guess was it had something to do with an unwanted pregnancy. Right track of thinking..... not completely correct assumption. As a woman I can empathize with wanting a baby so badly. What I can not empathize with is then not wanting anything to do with that baby that I wanted. This story gives you a very emotional look into postpartum depression and the effects of a near death experience. Not just for the woman, but also for some of the family members that are also dealing with it.
Leigh did a fantastic job of making me feel the heartbreak that the family was going through. I will most definitely think twice if I ever come across a woman going through this. Emma is a very real real character. And fortunately for her she has a great support system, with just about the sweetest husband on the face of the earth! I don't think that most men would put up with as much as he did. I so badly wanted to see if everything would work out for them that I had the hardest time putting this book down!
So NOT what I was expecting when going into this book! It was so much more emotional! I loved it!
