My Next Breath (#2‪)‬

Tara Stallings is so close—close to turning it all around. The amber rays of Asheville, North Carolina welcome her back home to where it all began, but suffocating memories hover in the air and hard-fought progress threatens to slip away.

In typical fashion, her alcoholic mother, Maggie Fowler, vanishes when she's needed most, turning everyone’s life upside down. On the surface, it appears she’s back to her old tricks. Will she ever be anything more than she's always been—a breath taker, a smile faker?

Tara and her husband Marcus are caught up in a world they never knew existed—a world of sex trafficking and prostitution. As the walls come tumbling down and her world starts caving in, Tara realizes there’s more to her mother’s past than she’d first thought. Will Tara find the faith to look beyond her mother’s faults? Or will Maggie’s desertion leave Tara gasping for her next breath?

My Next Breath, told with vulnerability and authenticity, speaks to the ramifications alcoholism has on a family for generations to come. This suspenseful novel takes the reader on a journey of discovery and revelation.
