Surrendered Child is Karen Salyer McElmurrays raw, poignant account of her journey from her teen years, when she put her newborn child up for adoption, to adulthood and a desperate search for the son she never knew. In a patchwork narrative interwoven with dark memories from her childhood, McElmurray deftly treads where few dareinto a gritty, honest exploration of the loss a birth mother experiences.The year was 1973, a time of social upheaval, even in smalltown Kentucky, where McElmurray grew up. More than a story of time and place, however, this is about a girl who, at the age of sixteen, relinquished her son at birth. Twentyfive years would pass before McElmurray began sharing this part of her past with others and actively looking for her son.McElmurrays own troubled upbringing and her quest after a nowfullygrown son are the heart of her story. With unflinching honesty, McElmurray recounts both the painful surrendering and the surprise rediscovery of her son, juxtaposed with her portrayal of her own mother, who could not provide the love she needed. The dramatic result is a story of birthright lost and foundand an exploration of the meaning of motherhood itself.

Surrendered Child is an inspiring story, but I wished it had more practical advice. The emotional journey was relatable, but I sometimes felt lost in the storytelling. Definitely a unique perspective on motherhood!

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a guide on motherhood and found this book to be more of a personal story. While it was well-written, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. Packaging was also a bit damaged when it arrived, which was disappointing.
