What if you had to fight for every breath?&#10;What if you failed?
&#10;The Story behind the Story &#10;&#10;As a young adult, I had a scare with tuberculosis and had to take medicine for many months. Forty years earlier, I would have been put on long-term bed rest “chasing the cure” in a special hospital called a sanatorium. &#10;&#10;What was life like in such a place, especially for a young person? &#10;I wrote Breathing Room to find out. http://www.girlslife.com/post/2012/06/20/Get-chills-reading-Breathing-Room.aspxshapeimage_21_link_0
