Breathless

by Laura Horton

Overview

What happens when the things we covet, hide us from ourselves? When a secret Sophie has been keeping from those she loves, and even from herself, threatens to unravel it all, she has to make a choice. Who or what will she decide to give up? A funny exploration of hoarding, from the joy to the addiction and suffocating shame.
