USA Today Bestselling Novel "No one tried to get involved with me, and I kept to myself. This was the place where everything was supposed to be safe and easy. How could Evan Mathews unravel my constant universe in just one day?" In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all. She’s more concerned with feigning perfection—pulling down her sleeves to conceal the bruises, not wanting anyone to know how far from perfect her life truly is. Without expecting it, she finds love. It challenges her to recognize her own worth―at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide. One girl’s story of life-changing love, unspeakable cruelty, and her precarious grasp of hope: Reason to Breathe is the first installment of the acclaimed Breathing Series.

Everyone knows the first time you meet someone, your eyes connect from across the room, you smile and grab the courage to say hello, a simple feat for most people, but not for Trevor Friessen, who has spent most of his life struggling to fit into this world until he meets a girl who is as different from him as she is the same. But to our families and everyone around us what they don't understand is we too feel love. Did you miss the other books in this big family romance series?
