Welcome to the Blog Blitz & Giveaway for Swimming In The Deep End by Christina Suzann Nelson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

swimming in the deep endTitle: 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?

EXCERPT

Jillian Cline

Light reflects off the wet blades of grass sparkling in the glow of the streetlamp. Swaying forward and back, the hem of my purple, ankle-length robe, the one Izzy bought for me with her own money a couple Christmases ago, rubs across the tops of my feet like the edges of grabbing ocean waves. My gaze drifts away from the place where the porch light brings the night into focus and out into the darkness.

I’ve seen him out there before, a figure masked by darkness, sneaking to my daughter’s window. And I didn’t stop him because I was afraid of how our different feelings about Travis were tearing our relationship apart. I was afraid I would be alone again, without a mother or a daughter.

Instead of dealing with the issue directly, I gave them a few minutes, then made noises in the hall. He always disappeared.

Anger licks my cheeks and lights a bonfire in my chest.

I should have slashed his tires, smashed his precious windows.

I choke on a sob and my regret.

Can’t Izzy’s situation be just another one of my nightmares?
