Hold Me Like a Breath  by Tiffany Schmidt is the story of Penelope Landlow's struggle to become independent of herself. Diagnosed at a young age with a rare blood disease known as IDP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura), Penny's every move has been dictated by her overbearing parents. However, when a tragic accident occurs within her family's business, Penny finds herself alone, and for the first time, wishing for the overbearance of her parents one last time. This book will give you a new appreciation for family, no matter how dysfunctional they are. It will also give you a clearer understanding as to the struggles of those who are critically ill. With mystery, tragedy, comedy, and a pinch of love between these pages, Hold Me Like a Breath is a read for anyone to enjoy.
