Unbreathed Memories

Hannah Ives doesn’t go looking for trouble. But this time, trouble’s landed right in her lap. 

All Hannah really wants is to get on with life. Having survived a bout of breast cancer, she’s looking forward to reconstructive surgery, and a fresh start. Her Annapolis home has been cheerfully feng shui-ed by her older sister Ruth, and her parents have just relocated to a house conveniently nearby. And, perhaps best of all, her younger sister Georgina is finally receiving help for her protracted post-partum depression.

But when Georgina's therapist takes a nosedive off a balcony around the time of their appointment, the whole family is in for a roller-coaster ride of confused memories and overwhelming emotions.

Refusing to believe her sister's wild accusations, Hannah sets her indomitable will to the task of finding out what’s really going on, and wades into a dark and confusing world of secrets and shame, trust and deceit, reality and delusion.
