Breath of Life: A Memoir

In Massachusetts, where she grew up, Mia had always been a talented athlete and an A student. But after her parents' divorce and her move to Iowa, things were different. There were no more sports to play that fit with who she'd been. There were no more summers at the club, not even a neighborhood to play in because they had moved to a rural area. It was not a bright and cheery world. She fell down a path that headed toward despair.

In Breath of Life, Mia shares her story, a journey through one girl's life as she searched to find inner peace, healing, and forgiveness from a series of events she could never have anticipated, including an unplanned pregnancy during her freshman year in college. Her life changed forever, and she faced years of emotional and physical torment, anxiety, inner chaos, and confusion she simply could not manage.

This memoir narrates her journey of fear and hardship, an inspirational story that communicates the power of the human spirit to overcome the darkness of life and to ultimately master one's emotions.
