Inhale Exhale

Michelle’s life has stagnated. Her days are spent balancing the demands of running her yoga studio with parenting her teenage daughter, Livvy – all while contending with her workaholic ex-husband, Paul. Under pressure from her sister, and facing mounting loneliness, Michelle decides to re-enter the dating scene for the first time in thirty years. How different can it be?

As it turns out, very different. However, when Michelle meets Steve, a widower and a student at her yoga studio, sparks fly. Livvy, struggling with rejection from her father, is thrilled with her mother’s new boyfriend – but is he everything he appears to be? As doubts about Steve creep in, Paul drops a bombshell that jeopardizes the rosy future Michelle has begun to envision for herself. As complications arise from every corner, and her relationship with her daughter reaches a crisis point, Michelle is faced with a choice: is the only way forward to forgive the past, or will she have to relive it?

With warmth, humour, and a lot of deep breathing, Inhale Exhale examines motherhood, aging, second chances, and the ups and downs of middle-aged romance, with characters so true to life they’ll stay with you long after you’ve closed the book.
