“The story of these women touched the deep places in my heart. The threads of God’s grace are evident in this story, weaving together women of strength and devotion who, above all, need the gift of grace. An exceptional read and one that will live with me long after I close the book.” -- Jaime Jo Wright, best-selling author, The House on Foster Hill and The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond
“Swimming in the Deep End is a heart-touching tale of four women who have each suffered the wrenching loss of a child. With a rare warmth and Christlike attitude, Nelson unfolds their personal tragedies and taps into our souls as unbridled emotions and past wounds spill out of these characters’ lives into our own. They must work together to surmount impossible challenges, and their inspiring selflessness is all for the good of an innocent child. A moving read guaranteed to evoke sad as well as happy tears, you won’t soon forget this book!” -- Marilyn Rhoads, president of Oregon Christian Writers
