Just Keep Breathing David J Connor

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-an aging grandmother cared for by a concerned granddaughter, a shy middle-aged man feeling unworthy of his family's love, an adopted woman seeking to solve the mystery of her birth parents, a husband who confronts his wife's lover. Together, the stories render a colorful contemporary portrait of New York City through its wonderfully diverse inhabitants.
