Just Breathe

Tessa finds her world gone, and her pain too much to face alone. Like so many women, she hits her low before she can find a way to discover what she needs to heal. Just when life seemed close to perfect, the bottom drops out of her world for the second time, and she must heal once again. Like many of us, Tessa gets stronger, faces her poor choices, embraces her good and her bad, and in the end, she rises but not without the reality of facing her pain. Along the way she finds herself in some steamy positions, with some men who elevate her expectations, and some she just can't shake. The ghosts of the past just will not stop holding onto her, and the men in her present don't tell her the truth.

Kathleen May is a mother of four. a teacher, a single mom, a survivor of divorce, a mom blogger, but mostly she's a woman. She has two degrees and impressive credentials. But for Kathleen, none of them give her anymore qualifications to write this book than simply being a woman. This is the first book out of the vault. Kathleen has found that when she was faced with a challenge in life, she would go to the bookstore and see if anyone had written a book about it. She always knew that if books had been written about the topic, then others had survived, and that gave her hope. Kathleen was supported by so many inspiring women during very challenging times and is grateful for those who didn't judge her and were vulnerable with her about their truths. She wanted to write and "pay it forward" for more women so there is another book to escape into and offer more vulnerable discussions around healing, growth, challenges, and personal needs.
