BLURB

Hope Anderson is at a junction. At 36, she dates for six years from her partner, an orthopedic surgeon. With no wedding schemes in sight, and her dad has lately been infected with ALS, she chooses to use a week at her family’s cottage in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, to prepare the home for selling and mull over some hard choices about her future. 

Tru Walls has never toured North Carolina, but a mail from a person claiming to be his dad is invited to Sunset Beach. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, a safari handbook, Tru hopes to unravel some of the mysteries concerning the premature lives of his mother and recover missed images of her murder. Their connection is as electrical as it is unfathomable when the two strangers cross paths… but in the immersive days that follow, their feelings for each other will give way to choices that pit family duty against personal happiness in devastating ways. 

Enlightening the heartbreaking memories of life and lasting promise, Every Breath investigates the many facets of affection that threaten our greatest loyalties–and answers the query, How soon can a vision endure?
