Reasons For and Advantages of Breathing
Short Story Collection

The compelling short stories of Lydia Peelle have earned her two Pushcart Prizes, an O. Henry Award, and publication in Best New American Voices. This debut collection brings together eight superbly crafted stories that peer deeply into the human heart, exploring lives derailed by the loss of a vital connection to the land and to the natural world of which they are a part. Narrators: Therese Plummer, Tom Stechschulte, Scott Sowers, Suzanne Toren
