Trapped is a gold medal winner and an Amazon International Bestseller.
Trapped is Fran’s true story, in which she candidly reveals how hard it has been to achieve a ‘normal’ life despite the physical, emotional and social effects of permanent disability. All her life, Fran has battled huge odds to prove that she could succeed: as a child, a student, a working adult, a wife and a mother, she has fought to find a dignity in life that many people take for granted.
With the help of her family and friends, Fran has finally proved that it is possible to find peace, certainty and joy in life. She has always used her writing to help her explore life’s higher purposes. With Trapped Fran shares messages of hope and peace through forgiveness and love.
