The true story that broke Ireland's heart - and helped it heal.
A car crash. A lost shoe. A father who never stopped searching.
Inspired by ROOM, WONDER, and THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, this debut novel is being hailed as a quiet literary revelation.
The Father's Breath writing style is poetic, powerful, and achingly real.
One of the most unforgettable books you'll read this year.
Readers are calling it the book that broke them - and built them.

Let this story break your heart. Then give it back to you, fuller.
One moment, our daughter was running through the yard, her Communion dress swirling, her curls bouncing with life. The next, she was gone - not in body, but in spirit. We found ourselves in unfamiliar hallways, facing unimaginable questions, holding onto hope like it was something we might never let go.
But this story isn't just about what we lost. It's about what we found - in the wreckage, in the waiting, and on the long road back to each other.
It's about home.
It's about healing. xxxxxx
And it's about the kind of love that refuses to break, even when it's not returned, even when it seems impossible.
Somewhere along the way, I realized we were living a story much older than us.
The shoe that came off wasn't made of glass.
The ball was our life before.
Midnight struck too soon.
And the one who never stopped searching wasn't royalty.
He was just a Da.
A father who refused to let go.
This is a story for every parent who's sat by a bedside, waiting.
For every child who's fought their way back from the edge.
For anyone who's ever believed that even after everything - the silence, the grief, the not-knowing - you can still come home.
