About this listen

 Ruth is a twenty-eight-year-old schoolteacher in rural Mississippi in 1962. She is the daughter of a prominent Methodist minister and there are expectations for her life. When she finds herself pregnant and unwed, she did what many others did in those days: she disappears. Leaving her three-year old daughter with her parents, Ruth leaves for New Orleans under the cover of attending graduate school. She works in a piano bar, accepts the benevolence of the local church ministry for unwed mothers, and carries the baby to term. Upon his birth, she gives up her son for adoption at the church’s orphanage and returns to Mississippi to resume her life. But the child she left behind remains in her heart for the next 35 years until she can no longer hide her secret or her anguish. The decision to find her son may rupture two worlds. Unwed is the story of a mother’s journey. Ruth is a courageous woman who does the “right” thing by the standards of her day. Unwed tells a tale of rejection, adoption, and the pursuit of closure and redemption. Adoption & Fostering Christian Fiction Genre Fiction Parenting & Families Relationships
