Have you ever felt like you just didn't belong? Anywhere and to no one? Have I got a story for you... The Edge Of Belonging is the story of a group of people, people who have been hurt and kicked around by life. Neglected by humanity. Forgotten by God. Or have they? Could God use one little baby girl to touch the lives of all those around her? Can the broken parts of our lives become something beautiful in His hands?
I've really come to enjoy debut novels over the last couple of years or so and this book is why. It's a beautiful story, bittersweet, amusing in places and oh so poignant in others. And may I recommend that you read Amanda Cox's debut with a tissue handy. Even I, who never cries over books and movies, got a little teary eyed while reading the last chapters.
I went on a real emotional roller coaster thanks to Amanda Cox's vivid storytelling. I totally ran the gamut, anger, joy, despair, elation, desperation, excitement, you name it I felt it. It's not often that a novel does this to me but when it does it's usually a book I just can't put down. The Edge Of Belonging is a trifle on the long side, around 400 pages, but I read it in around 24 hours. 2 am came and went and I was still reading.
Amanda Cox takes on some tough issues in The Edge Of Belonging, from abandonment to emotional abuse and infertility, from suicide to drug abuse and anxiety/PTSD. From depression, to grief and questions surrounding adoption. Essentially, this book deals with real people with real struggles who learn to lean on family and faith through the toughest times. It's a story that readers won't soon forget...

Amazing
This will likely remain in my top ten books of the year. Amanda Cox's background as a counselor has obviously influenced her ability to write with grace and empathy about such difficult topics as abandonment, PTSD, infertility, homelessness, depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, and suicide. While that list is daunting, to say the least, Cox has woven each of them into this story of healing and beauty. Don't pick up this book when you are in need of a quick read, because it deserves to be savored, but by all means pick it up. I am very grateful to have received a copy from Revell via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
