~ About the Book ~

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?

~ Excerpt ~

Stacey Frey

This house is truly beautiful. My mood takes another rapid shift, and I can’t wait to see every square inch. I jog up the stairs and through the door to the master bedroom. There must be twice the space here as we had in Tennessee. The window looks down into our neighbors’ yards. Evidences of children litter the grass. Trampolines and swing sets as well as a couple playhouses. This is a family neighborhood, children in every home.

Except ours.

From here I can see the bare dirt where play equipment was removed.

I shiver, trying to console myself with the extra garden space.

Keith’s warm hands wrap around my shoulders. His silence speaks all the answers I need to hear.

A loud sniff breaks into our quiet moment. “Which room will be the nursery?”

I whip around, something in me ready to fight.

The oldest of the three movers stands in the doorway holding a cardboard box, the edges worn from being shifted from one cubby to another, the word “baby” scrawled across the side.

“The basement. Those go in the basement.”
