Reason to Breathe

I have long loved Deborah Raney's books. They are filled with relatable characters, humor, wonderful settings, and real-world issues.  Her newest offering has set up a series that I cannot wait for more episodes.

Phee Chandler is the oldest sister, and has just helped her sisters bury her mother. Then her father leaves with the Hospice nurse, leaving Phee, Joanna, and Britt to muddle on alone. Oh, and they have to vacate the house, but they have money from her mother's inheritance.  Phee's father asks his second in command at work, Quinn, to help his daughters find a place to live and that they could afford.  Quinn found a piece of property with a cottage and two cabins on the lake front and convinces the girls to pool their money to buy it. 

Quinn has fallen in love with Phee and is trying to find a way to show her his love, and pave the way for reconciliation among the girls and their father.

Because there are three sisters, the set up is there for two more novels.  It is apparent from the very  beginning that this is the intent of the author.  Her storytelling is smooth and engaging.  I give this book five stars, two thumbs up, and a lakeside cottage.

My thanks to Gilead Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.
