It's a rainy one here in SW Louisiana, supposedly bringing us another round of cooler weather - which is fine but is drowning us in the meantime really necessary? I know we need some, but hours upon hours and days upon days of it? Not. A. Fan. LOL! Trust me if I could, I would send it over to California and other areas that are burning up with wild fires!
Oh, HIS mysterious ways....
Anyway, enough about me. Our guest today is no stranger to our blog. Lillian has shared thoughts and treasures and been in our spotlight more than once, although it has been a while since she visited. So please give her a warm reception as she speaks to us about baby steps.....
Angela Matthews had the perfect life until the day she’s kidnapped and trapped in a basement with a mad man. Even though she’s rescued, she remains trapped by the memories she can’t forget.
That’s true for so many of us. Even after the “bad situation” whatever that may be is resolved, we get stuck and can’t seem to move forward with our lives. Instead, we’re angry and bitter or maybe sad and fearful or most likely a combination of all of those negative emotions.
In the story, her rescuer discovers that Angela is indeed still trapped by her horrible experience. He’s had his own share of horrible as a Chicago policeman. Because of that, he reaches out to help Angela.
One of the mantras in the story is “baby steps.” So often we think we have to go from a sitting position to a full-out run or we are a failure. This story reminds us that’s not reality. Each baby step we take toward our goal is a win. Every win brings us closer to our ultimate victory!
But TRAPPED isn’t a self-help book, it’s a suspense novel. That means there’s lots of action, not to mention twists and turns that will keep you guessing who the bad guy is until the very end!

You are so right, Lillian...baby steps are OK, even the Bible tells us to, "despise not small beginnings." THANKS for sharing!
We certainly wish you the best of luck and God's blessings with your new book and in all things.
Hope you enjoyed today's guest post friends and that you'll check back each week for Wednesday Words with Friends and Saturday Spotlight.
Until next time take care and God bless.

The wet weather is here in west Michigan, too. Like you, Pam, I'd love to send the rain where it's needed.
Lillian, thanks for sharing your story. Baby steps. I try to remember the old adage Rome wasn't build in a day. Hard to keep that perspective but important.
BABY STEPS may be a little misleading as a title for this one, but the book itself sounds intriguing. Good exposure with Pamela. Congratulations on the new release.
This story sounds great! I think every well-written romance has a message of hope for the world. Glad you're sharing yours.
And--I'm in California. We'd love some of your rain, Pam and Diane!
I'm very fond of reading romantic suspense. This sounds like a fine read. Congrats and best wishes!
This sounds like a complex book filled with a lot of emotion. Very interesting. Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres!
Thanks everyone for all your nice comments. I've had some interesting reviews on this book. Apparently, it's a little scarier and edgier than most of my books.
I love rain, Pamela, and I'll take all you're getting. :) Lillian, fabulous post. Your book looks like a great read. Best wishes!
