I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )

The Air I Breathe by Karen Baney is a nicely written, easy to read Christian contemporary fiction story. This is the first book in the Steadfast Love series. This story caught my attention from the very start and held it to the very end. This is a rather new author for me, and I really enjoy her writings. This story is filled with caring characters who have issues in their pasts. I enjoyed the friendships that formed and how the characters looked out for each other and prayed for each other. This story does mention alcohol and drug abuse, unplanned pregnancy and affairs, but it also shows through God’s love this is forgiven.

I voluntarily recieved a complimentary copy of this book, this is my honest review ( )
