In this powerful and moving memoir, a mother writes a letter to her sons, exploring themes of love, loss, and the complexities of family.

The author, whose name is never revealed, begins the letter by telling her sons how much she loves them. She goes on to describe the challenges they have faced together, including the death of their father and her own struggles with mental illness. Through it all, she has learned the importance of breathing—of taking one breath at a time and facing life's challenges with courage and grace.

The letter is a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a story of loss, grief, and healing, but it is also a story of hope and redemption. The author's words are a powerful reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always light to be found.

Breathe is a beautifully written and deeply moving memoir. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced loss, grief, or the complexities of family. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
