"Lisa Bergren's Breathe is a sweet and sensitive tale of faith, love, and devilry on a raw frontier just coming into its own."--Kristen Heitzmann, bestselling author of The Edge of Recall and Christy Award-winner Secrets

To make a new life, she'll have to learn how to breathe again . . .

By the time Dominic and Moira St. Clair get their ailing sister, Odessa, to Colorado Springs in the winter of 1883, she is nearly dead. Odessa has been seriously ailing for the past year from consumption, an illness that claimed the lives of four of her younger brothers, prompting her father to send his only surviving children west to chase the cure.

Several days after her arrival, Odessa witnesses what she fears is the murder of miner Sam O'Toole, friend and neighbor to the charming Bryce McAllan. What's more, Sam leaves her a poem containing clues that seem to direct her to his mine, which is purported to carry a fantastic vein of silver. But if she is ever to rise from her bed again, she must first concentrate on conquering the giant that threatens her--consumption. Indeed, she must learn to breathe again--daring to embrace her life, her future, and hope in her God.
