Editorial Reviews

“Lean, not florid, genuine, not sappy, reflective, not preachy, familiar, not clichéd, satisfying, not contrived: what more could one ask of a contemporary novel from a first-time novelist? Readers of Breathing on Her Own will enjoy a story that feels close to home, in the tradition of writers like Anne Tyler. We know the people in this story. They are friends, neighbors, family, even ourselves. I expect that when readers finish this book, they will ask Dr. Waters when they can read her next one. That’s certainly my question.”

“Entertaining, challenging, and realistic. Breathing on Her Own brings us face-to-face with what we really believe through the eyes of one woman’s journey with hope and resilient faith as the backbone of the story.”

—Drew Waters

“I was hooked from the beginning! Waters takes us on a journey of faith and doubt which had me asking questions like, ‘How would I react?’ and ‘Would I trust God during these tough times?’ Let this real-life drama pull you in and pull you closer to God!”

—Andy Lynch

“Rebecca Waters nailed it in this well-written novel about family and life changing tragedy. She takes her protagonist, Molly, through the pain that comes when life kicks you in the gut, in both a realistic and insightful way. Giving Molly permission to question her God and her faith gives the reader permission to do the same. This can bring a great deal of comfort to people who are struggling through the challenges that inevitably come into every life. In Breathing on Her Own, as in real life, God holds up to the questioning and that is the message that Ms. Waters handles so well.”

—Robin Prince Monroe
