Stepping Through Seagrass has received some great reviews.
1. Ms. Bilodeau has intertwined the two central characters, Kate and Marine, into a loving and caring tale of friendship and love. The strength Kate shows while coping with her disease and tragedy will make you grieve along with her. Marine is a very strong secondary character and the sympathy and pain that comes from her is overwhelming. I found this story has a lot of good things about it, including the strong-will of the characters. This story will leave you smiling and realizing that anyone can overcome even their most awful nightmares.

2. Excerpts from Kate’s journal entries add insight into her thoughts and emotions. Bilodeau’s descriptions are detailed and evocative. Her characters are true to life and interesting, and her subplots contribute depth to the story. The title refers to the care needed walking through the seagrass in the Everglades, where a misstep means sinking in the ooze. A good analogy for the danger of slipping every alcoholic faces. I enjoyed reading this novel and will recommend it to friends.

3. “Ms. Bilodeau catches the elemental difficulties confronting individuals in their second year of recovery.Too few authors, lay or professional, seem to have such an in-depth awareness of the residual problems, guilt, and family of origin issues which arise with sobriety.Stepping Through Seagrass captures the readers interest as well as warning those in recovery, their family, and their friends of the struggles still to come.”
