Overview

“This was the place where everything was supposed to be safe and easy. No one tried to get involved with me, and I kept to myself. How could Evan Mathews unravel my constant universe in just one day?”

In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all. She’s more concerned with feigning perfection — pulling down her sleeves to conceal the bruises, not wanting anyone to know how far from perfect her life truly is. Without expecting it, she finds love. It challenges her to recognize her own worth — at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide.

One girl’s story of unspeakable cruelty, life-changing love, and her precarious grasp of hope, Reason to Breathe is the first installment in the acclaimed Breathing Series.

Britta Kirk
"I cannot praise Rebecca Donovan more for being courageous enough to take on the unsettling subject of abuse with gusto."
Reading, Eating & Dreaming
"Reason to Breathe made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and almost made my heart beat out of my chest. This novel is powerful and emotional."
Marie Francis
"'Reason to Breathe' was a little bit heart-breaking, a little bit hopeful and all consuming. It's beautifully written and brutally believable."
