“Raw, heartbreaking, and poignant.” —New York Times-bestselling creator Kathleen Glasgow
A Chicago Public Library and Kirkus Best Book of the Year!
Seventeen-year-old Ellie had no hope left. Yet the day after she dies by suicide, she finds herself within the midst of an out-of-body expertise. She is a spectator, swaying between previous and current, retracing the occasions that unfolded previous to her demise.
But there are gaps in her reminiscence, fractured items Ellie is determined to re-assemble. There’s her mom, a songbird who needed to interrupt free from her oppressive cage. The boy made from brushstrokes and goofy smiles who introduced shade right into a grey world. Her brooding father, together with his unhappy pet eyes and clenched fists. And Ellie’s decided to search out out why a chunk of her was left behind.
Told in epistolary-like model, Rocky Callen’s deeply shifting A Breath Too Late sensitively examines the gorgeous and horrible moments that make up a life and the probabilities that dwell in even the darkest of locations. Perfect for followers of the critically-acclaimed Speak, I’ll Give You the Sun, and If I Stay.
