Looking in the Window: Romance, Faith and More. Treading Water: Barely above Water Free for a Limited Time

 

There’s more to Treading Water: Barely above Water, than the sweet, contemporary romance. While a young man and woman work through their reasons for not getting serious about anyone, readers enjoy a fun rag-tag swim team and learn about new treatments for a little-understood malady. 

Like Suzie, the heroine, in Treading Water, I’m a victim of chronic Lyme disease. Over the years, I’ve learned there’s little interest in the illness. My journey began in a physician’s office where I had one month of testing before I was told, “You have something foreign in your system, but we can’t treat you because we can’t diagnose your problem.” And, that was that—until God led me  to an alternative doctor, David G. Lee, D.C., PhD., CAd. I’m blessed, Dr. Lee has kept me on my feet and active. Still, I’m constantly searching for promising breakthroughs.

One day, I found a couple. Unfortunately, the news made no headlines. I pondered updating  Barely above Water, a novel I wrote ten years ago about a young lady who has Lyme disease, but I decided there wasn’t enough interest. Then, encounters with several people motivated me to reconsider. I spoke with a physician who told me Lyme disease was never mentioned during the years she studied medicine. Coincidentally, I ran into another medical professional who had read inaccurate information about the disease. Then, I realized the facts about Lyme disease, including news about new treatments or supplements, need to be shared. Since I'm passionate about spreading information about the ailment, I asked my publisher to make Treading Water: Barely above Water free for a few days, and she agreed. See below to snag your copy. While reading about the treatments and supplements in Treading Water: Barely above Water, readers can revisit the original sweet romance and fun, rag-tag swim team.
