Amanda Cox

Have you ever felt like you were on the edge of something good? A life wanted but too far out of reach? The edge of belonging…to a family…a community…a future that might mean something? The edge of a real relationship with the God you don’t think you are good enough for?

Oh, but then, He is gracious to give you something greater than good. A purpose; the beginning of a life…and you finally see that He orchestrated it all. Every bit of it, with you in mind.

This book is such a loving, breath of God story that brings hope to all of its characters and readers alike. Amanda Cox, continue to write stories like this…so we will not forget the love of God and that Jesus taught us to love Him and love others…with others being all that God puts in our path…because He created each of us with a purpose and a waiting story of redemption.

I read both the ebook and audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed Leah Horowitz’s interpretation of this story. Her diction, inflections and portrayal of characters, young and old, male and female, proved to capture the story and bring it to life.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.… (más)

I'll be honest, I requested this book only because I saw that it talks about adoption. I had no idea that The Edge of Belonging was absolutely brilliant and delved into so many topics.
I've had trouble in the past with split-time novels but this one was had none of the issues. I looked forward to reading both parts and really liked how the characters grew simultaneously even though they were separated by years.
This novel covers a wide array of topics such as homelessness, abusive relationships, adoption, suicide, child neglect, adapting to society and so much more. Everything was handled so well and my heart ached with the characters as they worked through their struggles.
All in all, The Edge of Belonging was a beautiful story full of hope and love that I would recommend to anyone. Amanda Cox is definitely an author that I want to keep an eye on.
