Product Description Become empowered to face your own messy, complicated life with fresh courage and bravery. Undone is author Michele Cushatt's quest to make peace with a complicated life. It is an honest confession of a diagnosis of cancer and the joys and disappointments of motherhood and marriage, ripe with regret over what is and, yet, still hopeful for what could be. With enough humor to ease the rawness of the story, Undone takes you on a roller-coaster two-year journey through the unexpectedness of life. A look back makes Michele long for a do-over, the chance to make fewer mistakes and leave less of a mess to clean up. A look forward makes Michele wonder if all her attempts to control life have robbed her of the vibrancy of it. And, in the middle of this internal chaos, she finds her once-pristine house filled with the sights and sounds of three small, uncontainable children who just want to be loved. In the end, Undone turns complication into a beautiful canvas, angst into joy, and the unknown into an adventure, revealing that sometimes life's most colorful and courageous stories are written right in the middle of the mess. Review "Michele is a friend that I adore and trust to speak truth over deep places in my life where I need a confidant. If you have ever felt burdened with unanswered questions and prayers, this book is a must-read. God's truths are woven through her many beautiful words and heartbreaking stories. She is wise. She is funny. She helps her reader find God's comfort, love and revelation in the midst of hardship. And best of all, she offers up bouquets of the sweetest grace on every page." --Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author of The Best Yes & President of Proverbs 31 Ministries "While this looks like a book, it's not. It's actually a life preserver, disguised as a book. Hearing Michele's story helped me understand more clearly my own story--and connect it to the even bigger story of God's fierce, persistent, and gracious love. It made me laugh, cry, and ponder anew the mystery of suffering and the meaning of life." --Michael Hyatt, New York Times best-selling author, Former CEO, Thomas Nelson Publishers "Do yourself a massive favor and read this book! I cannot recommend it highly enough. Michele is one of the most gifted communicators I've ever met, but more than that, she's one of the most Jesus-filled people I've ever known. Michele's story will inspire you, move you, and leave you feeling empowered that you, too, can face overwhelming odds and unknowns with courage and bravery." --Crystal Paine, founder of MoneySavingMom.com and New York Times best-selling author of Say Goodbye to Survival Mode "This is a hopeful, heartfelt memoir about finding the hidden beauty in the midst of life's greatest struggles. In Michele's story, you will see your own story -- and find something beautiful to hold onto." --Jeff Goins, Author, The Art of Work "The hardest things in life have a way of showing up unexpectedly, as do the most beautiful and breath taking. Through Michele's story, I found mine. Through her remembering, I was reminded. Reminded how God has shown up when I least expected; how Comfort and Peace have pulled up close when I felt alone. How strength came in the most unexpected ways. If you feel like you're coming undone, read this book and let Michele's words awaken the hope and courage your heart needs today!" --Renee Swope, author of A Confident Heart and Proverbs 31 Co-Host of "Everyday Life with Lysa & Renee" From the Author If your life is everything you dreamed it to be, this book isn't for you. Just move along; you won't hurt my feelings. However, if you've ever known what it's like to have a dream unravel, a hope or desire remain unfulfilled, regardless of how long and hard you've wished and prayed otherwise, then Undone isn't just my story. It's your story. Life seldom turns out like we imagine. Oh, we try to make it everything
