Just Keep Breathing is a series of interconnected short stories that focus on universal themes of love and pain, birth and death, joy and sadness-in an ode to humanity with all of its messy imperfections. Each tale in this volume centers upon a distinct character in situations that resonate with readers-a charming gambler who makes wrong decisions, a lonely widow remembering her long deceased spouse, a teenager's addiction that impacts his whole family, an immigrant yearning for the distant homeland of his youth.
