Despite working long hours in opposite shifts just to make ends meet, Lisa Clayton and her husband Stephen have built an enduring love and a happy family. Together with their infant son, they're sharing a modest but content life as they prepare for the new baby Lisa is expecting. But when Stephen doesn't come home one night after work, the fragile balance of Lisa's life begins to tip.
Facing profound tragedies, Lisa must lean on her family and sheer determination to move forward. In quiet moments, Lisa begins to sense that love does not vanish with death; she experiences fleeting sensations, subtle signs, and a sense of connection that raises questions about whether those we lose may still be there for us when we need them most. As the years unfold, Lisa begins to discover that healing can include unexpected connections and the possibility of opening her heart again-without betraying what came before. With Bated Breath is a story of loss and endurance, of the ways time reshapes sorrow, and of how love, even after tragedy, can bloom again.
