Three young lives. Three different battles. One truth: survival is never simple.
Angela spent years outrunning the memories she buried at fourteen the home she escaped, the nights she slept in shelters, the fear she carried alone. Now an adult, she uses her voice to help kids who are living the same truths she once survived. But telling her story means facing the girl she used to be.
Justin is the overachiever everyone believes has it all together. Behind the perfect grades and quiet discipline is a storm he's terrified to name. When the pressure becomes too heavy to hide, he must decide whether to keep breaking in silence or let his family and therapist help him breathe again.
Cecily steps into adulthood with determination and a key to her first apartment. When jealousy, doubt, and instability threaten to take everything from her, she learns that losing ground doesn't mean she's lost it means she's still fighting.
Today I Breath follows three journeys shaped by truth, pressure, loss, and resilience. These stories are fiction, but the realities behind them are lived every day by young people finding their way in a world that doesn't always make room for them.
This book is for anyone who has ever had to rebuild, speak up, or simply keep going.
