    About this audiobook

    An ECPA Fiction Book of the Year winner, Christa Parrish delivers an affecting tale of souls yearning for safe harbor. At 17, Molly Fisk is unable to enjoy the preoccupations of other girls her age. Crippled by anxiety, Molly hides from life in the small-town museum she runs with her mother. Nurturing vague hopes of one day overcoming her fears and experiencing the great world beyond, Molly is startled by the appearance of a woman she befriended six years before - a woman who may hold the key to Molly becoming whole.

      Emotionally charged, riveting look at the hurts of this world alongside the miracles of God — that’s what you get in Christa Parrish’s The Air We Breath. Parrish’s novel will touch your heart.Hanna is just 11 when her dream life becomes a nightmare. Her father and her security are ripped from her, and she enters a world that is easier to face silent and locked away. A chance encounter with Claire, a woman dealing with her own demons, gets her talking again, but the strain on her relationship with her mother brings a very uneasy peace.Hanna and Claire both deal with survivor’s guilt. They blame their own actions for the results of another’s sin and the consequences of a fallen world. They both know God is there, but are unsure of just how much grace one is allotted in a lifetime. Both struggles, born out of extreme circumstances, nevertheless resonate with the reader. Does God always answer and can we really expect Him to work through all the things in our lives?The Air We Breathe is beautifully written. The chapters alternate between Claire and Hanna/Molly’s characters and two different time periods, giving the reader glimpses into past actions and present results. The characters are complex and flawed, causing the reader to alternately feel empathy and frustration. This book would be a great addition for any book club.The Air We Breathe is nominated for a Christy Award. The ceremony is tonight, and I look forward to finding out if the judges were as blown away as I was by this book.Highly Recommended.Great for Book Clubs.(I received The Air We Breathe from Bethany House in return for a review. The opinions expressed are mine alone.)

      This is a story of healing and hope and how God works in the lives of Molly and Claire who have both lived through traumatic experiences and come out damaged, frightened and lonely. As God brings them together, they help one another to heal and go on with their lives. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from this author. I, myself suffer from anxiety and sometimes find it hard to leave my house so I could relate to Molly's feelings about the fear of going outside. God works in wonderful ways.The book was well written and interesting from the start to end.I was given this book from Bethany House and this is my own review.
