Lillian Duncan: Baby Steps
BABY
STEPS
TRAPPED is my latest romantic suspense novel—heavy on
the suspense but enough romance to add to the enjoyment. Being a Christian
Fiction novel, there’s always a spiritual message hidden in the pages of the
story as well, and this one is no exception.
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!
Backcover Blurb:
Angelina Matthews has
everything—riches, fame, and beauty—until the day she’s kidnapped and trapped
in a basement with a madman, wearing only a stained t-shirt. The dirt is
his—the blood is hers. Tormented and tortured, she cries out to God.
Help comes in the form
of Nate Goodman.
When their paths cross
months later, Nate discovers Angelina is still trapped—not in a basement but in
the memories she can’t escape. Nate knows all about being trapped, and getting
un-trapped. As an ex-Chicago cop he’s had his own demons to wrestle, but his
faith helped him to move forward. He reaches out to Angelina whose paranoid
delusions have her trapped still.
But are they delusions
after all?
