My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Heart Breaths by K.K. Hendin is a beautiful story of loss, love, pain, guilt and redemption.
Maddie has suffered one too many tragedies. One too many betrayals. She is out, gone, leaving her life behind. She is leaving Manhattan far behind in her rearview and winds up in Eno, North Carolina. A sleepy little coastal town. Can the people she meets here manage to get through her walls and into her heart?
Day by day Maddie's past loses the grip it has on her heart and her hope. She slowly gains more confidence in her self and her choices and lets the guilt of her past go.
A beautiful story with some very goose-bumpy, hair-raising moments that will completely surprise you.
After a tragedy nearly ripped 21 year old Madeline Darlington-Gray’s life in half, she's spent the past three years trying to put the pieces back together. But pieces never just fit back together, and when she's betrayed by those she trusts, everything crumbles. Shoving everything she owns into the trunk of her car, Maddie drives south, trying to run from her past.
Eno, North Carolina seems like the perfect place to hide. Working at a local café is light years from Maddie's Manhattan existence and for the first time in a while, she's finding her family. There's Grandma, the café owner; Samantha, the hairstylist next door with plans to make Maddie's life unsuck and Noie, the three year old girl who's stolen Maddie's heart.
And then there’s Gabriel Mendez, Noie’s single dad. He’s intrigued Maddie since the first time she met him, and while he has his own secrets, he wants more from her than just friendship. But the past never stays past, and all too soon, Maddie realizes she can't hide from hers. If she can't put the pieces of her shattered life together this time, she'll have no hope for a future.
A future she desperately wants.

Excerpt:
It had been seven hours and fourteen minutes since I had completely and utterly lost my mind. Since I shoved everything I could fit into my car, returned my keys to the landlord, and drove. All I wanted to do was drive--drive until my tires ran flat, get a new pair, and keep going. Drive until I couldn't drive anymore, until the allure of wherever I was became stronger than the urge to bury my head in the sand and never, ever come out. Far enough away that my memories would all magically fade away into a bizarre kind of nostalgia, the kind that only comes from knowing how bad things sucked. The kind that only happens after blacking out.
About The Author:
KK Hendin's real life ambition is to become a pink fluffy unicorn who dances with rainbows. But the schooling for that is all sorts of complicated, so until that gets sorted out, she'll just write. Preferably things with angst and love. And things that require chocolate.
