Where I Can Breathe
2024 American Legacy Awards Finalist: Family Saga
Agnes Williams is dying. At sixty-two, the beautiful, wealthy socialite has chosen alcohol as her exit. After nearly bleeding to death, she is hospitalized, forcing her three middle-aged children and ex-husband to reunite-first to arrange hospice care, then to witness her excruciating decline.
Arthur, Abby, and Ansel Williams must say goodbye to a mother who wrecked their childhood and kept a ferocious hold on their adulthood. Their father, Asher Williams-a self-made tycoon-must finally face the wreckage he created within the family.
Behind the high walls of suburban Connecticut, where privilege and perfection mask dysfunction, the Williams clan unravels. Despite wealth, education, and status, they cannot escape the heartbreak that shaped their mother's life. Agnes and Asher's secrets have left their children stumbling through their own patterns of love, loss, and the choices they couldn't help but make.
Where I Can Breathe is a candid, compassionate, and darkly funny novel about alcoholism, family drama, and the messy ties that bind. The Williams story uncovers hidden truths about parenting, secrets, and the enduring-if imperfect-love that keeps families tethered. Laced with wit, sarcasm, and sharp cultural references, it's for anyone whose family is magnetic, maddening, and deeply, endearingly flawed.
