Babies' Breath: Stories of the Sad, the Sick, the Evil Kathy L. Coogan

Babies' Breath is a collection of twenty-four contemporary short stories about people in crisis.  The stories focus with empathy and compassion on individuals experiencing loss, widowhood, abandonment, addiction and other real life conditions.  Some characters find relief and resolution. Some characters plot amusing revenge.  Some continue to spiral out of control.
As a bonus, for those who have wondered, "How does a story come to be written," Ms. Coogan tells her readers the inspiration for each story without giving anything away. These stories offer the perfect reading opportunity for Book Clubs since they touch on circumstances which exist in all walks of life and which offer fodder for deeper understanding of life in our complex world. Some will empower you, some will touch you deeply and some might even make you laugh.
