Do you ever have something you just have to share because you know deep down in your heart, someone, somewhere needs to hear it? This is how I feel about my friend Kayla’s new book called Anchored: Finding Hope in the Unexpected. It is a stunningly beautiful and gripping story. Officially speaking:

[callout]You count a pregnancy by weeks and Kayla Aimee had only ticked off 24 of the 40 when she unexpectedly went into labor. With everything feeling as fragile as her one and a half pound daughter, Kayla finds herself facing her greatest fear: that she may have finally become a mother just to lose her only child. Poignant and humorous, Anchored recounts Kayla’s gripping story of learning to navigate her newfound motherhood in the most unexpected of ways, from holidays in the hospital and middle-of-the-night phone calls to the joy of coming home. With vulnerability and plenty of wit, Kayla lays bare her struggle to redefine her faith, her marriage, and herself within the context of a tragedy she never saw coming. For anyone who has felt their faith in God falter, Anchored extends a gentle invitation to join her as she uncovers a hope that holds.[/callout]

But before you buy it, watch the book trailer:

 

I love a good hope story. This one is filled with hope. Not wishes. Not fairy dust. But the kind you cling to. The kind that holds you when you are broken, weary, and struggling to breathe. I am so honored to add my endorsement to a long list of others who loved it too.

[endorsement]Kayla Aimee is hope clinger who knows that true hope does not disappoint. Hanging in the balance of every word she writes, you will find yourself rediscovering a God who truly does not leave us alone in the dark places—he joins us and holds us tightly.” Stacey Thacker, Co-Author of “Hope for the Weary Mom: Let God Meet You in the Mess”[/endorsement]

I love Kayla’s honesty. She has a sweet way of taking you to the pain and darkness of her early days of mothering, but adding just enough levity for your heart to not shatter into too many pieces as you journey with her. Because life is a mix of all if it really.
