As some know, my mom has been working on her first book, WHILE I BREATHE, about her first-born Ryan for many years now. Ryan came into the world two months before his due date with a heart defect and Down syndrome with little chance of survival. He lived to be just over two years old.

I may be biased, but I finished this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. The rollercoaster of emotions felt throughout, from irrevocable joy and hope to immense sorrow and frustration, is truly remarkable. The strength and resilience of my parent’s first born, Ryan, while fighting to survive against all odds, is undeniable. And the bond conveyed between mother and child is a force to be reckoned with. Mom, thank you for sharing your heart-wrenching story so that for those who don’t know Ryan can come to know and love him as much as I have. You are truly superwoman!!!

WHILE I BREATHE is available to be purchased on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Purchase options are linked in my bio if you are looking for a new read! ❤️🦋 by @jharks0401
