— Darleen, 2/17/2014" 4 1/2 stars....REALLY liked this book. Christian fiction that depicts real characters with real issues. Life is messy and sad sometimes.... God is faithful and this book is such a reminder. "
— Andi, 1/28/2014" i really enjoyed this book. I enjoy the character development and liked that it was christian but realistic (many christian fiction are not). "
— Sarah, 1/16/2014" This author is an excellent writer. A real plus that she writes Christian Fiction. A very good story although difficult at times to read (distressing events) but well worth the time and investment. I would read anything she writes. "
— Sheri, 1/7/2014" This book was good. I liked how the author gradually brought together both parts of the story. A really interesting way to present why bad things happen. "
— Denise, 10/13/2013" Review to come, but The Air We Breathe is a wonderful and well-written novel. "
— Tina, 6/11/2013" A good book about loss and recovery. Also, a God is Good! book..(but not over the top at all) "
— Marinda, 6/2/2013" I did not realize that this fell into the genre of "Christian Literature." I really did love the sotry line and thought it was very well written! "
— Jaimie, 1/20/2013" I found this book choppy and confusing to read. The underlying story was solid and touching but the way it was presented made it less impactful. "
