ABOUT THE BOOK

swimming in the deep end Title: Swimming In The Deep End


Author: Christina Suzann Nelson


Publisher: Kregel Publications


Release Date: September 25, 2018


Genre: Contemporary Women's Fiction





A moving novel entwining the many faces of motherly love



Jillian Connors has the perfect daughter: loving and smart, she's an Olympic hopeful with a bright future. But when Gabby becomes pregnant, Jillian fears that future is lost. Worse, she must confront her own secret past and hope the decisions she's made don't drown their whole family.



Gabby can't believe God let this happen to her. She knew the risks, but who thinks about that when they're in love? Now she has to face the consequences--and the disappointed stares from everyone who thought she was the perfect Christian girl. At least she has the baby's father, Travis. Nothing can tear them apart, right?



Margaret Owens had determined dreams for her son. She's furious that Gabby's pregnancy jeopardizes his college baseball scholarship and terrified that Travis will be trapped in a life of struggle and poverty--the life she's tried so hard to save him from. She'll do anything to protect him--even if it means forcing him to leave Gabby.



Stacey Meyers is aching for a child of her own. But the son she was meant to adopt was taken before she could hold him in her arms. It feels like she'll never stop mourning; even the move to this new town hasn't distracted her from the pain. How can she and her husband find peace? Is there any hope of a family in their future?

And in the midst of all this . . . an unborn baby. Whose arms will hold him in the end?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

CNELSON-5


Christina Suzann Nelson, inspirational speaker and award-winning author of If We Make It Home, is celebrating the release of Swimming in the Deep End, on September 25, 2018. She writes and speaks about hope after dysfunction. Christina is over the top about her passions, including the stories created somewhere in the twists and turns of her less-than-focused brain. When she’s not writing, she’s working with the Every Child initiative, chasing escaped steers, reading, breathing in the sweet smell of her horse, hiking with her dog, or enjoying her just-as-crazy family.


Book Excerpt 
Izzy Cline
I didn’t want to swim today. Why can’t I, just for once, be a normal teenager? No pressure. No expectations. Why can’t everyone just back off and give me a break for a change? I never wanted to be perfect, just normal. No one ever bothers to know who I am, except Travis, and even he’s been
pulling away, or maybe it’s me.
I sit against my bedroom door. The image won’t leave my mind. Mom standing at the sink, her broken cup in her hand, her shoulders slumped.
It’s only a second until tears choke my own throat, bringing with them the burn that comes from fighting to keep them back. My chin quivers and my chest tightens. I don’t want to care about what this will do to her. I’ve got my own problems. And they’re huge.
I shake my head. What’s wrong with me? I’m not one of those girls who bawls about her troubles. But then again, maybe the girl I am now is that kind of girl.
