Breathing Again: A Hurricane Harvey Memoir

Breathing Again is an inspirational memoir following the stories of those whose lives intersected with the author's during the days and weeks of Hurricane Harvey. While the timeline of Hurricane Harvey anchors the movement of this memoir, the book interweaves flashbacks from the author's life with larger themes of suffering, chronic illness, and loss. Suffering, as told in this story, bears the many names of natural disasters, chronic illness, loss, brokenness, and so much more. Though suffering is an inescapable part of our common human experience, it finds redemption and hope in the bonds of charity that unite us all as children of God.

Ultimately, Breathing Again is a story of faith, community, friendship, and resilience, intended to give the reader a glimmer of hope and healing out of the suffering of life's storms.
