Try Not to Breathe

More about the book

Alex is lost. Destructive habits have cost her a marriage and a journalism career. All she has left is her routine: a morning run until her body aches, then a few hours of forgettable work before the past grabs hold and drags her down. Every day is treading water, every night is drowning. Until she discovers Amy. Just another girl from a nearby town until the day she was found after a merciless assault, Amy has been in a coma for 15 years, forgotten by the world. Unbeknownst to her doctors, she remains locked inside her body, conscious but paralysed, reliving the past. Soon Alex's routine includes visiting hours at the hospital, then interviews with the original suspects in the attack. But what starts as a reporter's story becomes a personal obsession. Unable to tear herself away from uncovering the unspeakable truth, Alex realises she's not just chasing a story - she's seeking salvation.
