Author: Christina Suzann Nelson
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: May 19, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
A refreshed and updated novel on the power of motherly love
When Izzy's pregnancy comes to light during her junior year of high school, her future sinks like a stone and leaves waves of uncertainty in its wake. And suddenly three women are pulled into the undertow. A mother desperate to protect her child but battling hurt and fear from her past. A newcomer with empty arms and a deep longing. And a broken heart trying to survive amid grief.
An unborn baby growing closer to his unknown future brings together these four women with four completely different stories. Masterfully told in woven points of view, The Deep End of Love explores how one decision exposes shame, fear, and hope—and how grace surfaces in the least expected places.
Christy Award-winning author Christina Suzann Nelson draws readers in through this emotionally engaging and inspirational novel, now revised and updated.
Christian Contemporary Fiction is a favorite genre of mine. The Deep End of Love by Christina Suzann Nelson is the latest book that I have read. Christina Suzann Nelson is a new to me author and I was excited to read this novel.
WOW, absolutely astounded by this book. The storyline is one that is VERY emotional and gave me Happy and Sad tears for many reasons. The story has 4 main characters: Izzy: A Pregnant High School girl, Jillian: Izzy's Mom, Margaret: the mom of Izzy's Boyfriend, Stacey: a married woman and has infertility issues. The 4 women each have their own story and their stories are connected and similar to one another in so many ways and factors.
I began reading the book and could not put it down because I felt connected to all 4 of the women, especially Izzy and Stacey stories immediately. I, similar to Izzy, found out I was Pregnant when I was a Senior in High School. I was scared, but I knew I was not alone. I had family and Christian friends who loved and supported me throughout the Pregnancy. Izzy's Mom reminds me of my Mom. My mom was 15 and Pregnant and by age 17 was married with 3 girls under 1. (Single birth at age 16 and 13 days before my older sisters first b-day, my mom gave birth to my twin sister and I.) Izzy's Mom has regrets for her decision as a young Pregnant woman and though my Mom didn't make the same decision she always felt she missed out on her teenage years and many other parts of life. Margaret, seems similar to Mom of my Baby's Father at the time. Although, she was very supportive of the decision I was making and she spoke with my Boyfriend from a Mom's prescriptive and that helped him understand. Stacey, ohhh my heart was breaking for her and all that she went through. Losing her adopted son and still yearning to adopt another child. I chose Adoption for my Baby Boy and I know the story of the Mom who adopted my Baby Boy, whose infertility issues led to the decision for her and her husband to adopt. God truly was in the midst of my decision and the Support of my Pastor's wife and her wise counsel and prayer, gave me the strength to make the decision.
I applaud the author for this very heart wrenching yet heart warming story that really shows that God is in the midst of all the aspects of Motherhood, including Teen Pregnancies and Infertility. The book is fictional yet it has topics that are real life situations. The journey to Motherhood is so different for everyone, yet can be connected in many ways. I really LOVE the fact that this story is written with a Christian Perspective. Have your Tissue ready when reading this book, you will definitely need it. I will definitely be reading more of Christina Suzann Nelson's book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Contemporary Fiction and want to read a book that shows the journey of Motherhood for the different characters in this book! WONDERFUL BOOK!
