Inhale

by Colleen Songs

She has tried everything.
She has given up everything.
She has been separated from her Children,
her Family,
her Home,
her Country.

Held captive by her husband, James' narcissistic personality and mental disease, Colleen is left alone
to her thoughts, wavering faith in a Higher Source, and leaning on her gift of song to escape a life that has become a nightmare.

Through the passage of thought and prose Colleen carries the reader along the journey as though they are right there with in her mind, feeling her heart-felt melodies, breathing to get through
another day, one day at a time, to return to her Children, alive.

What got her there? What drew him to her? Why didn't she see all the signs?
Why didn't she trust the 'little red flags'? Where did the man she loved go?
Did he ever really exist? How could she let this happen? Why?

Reviews

[Francesca Jackman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't read a ton of non fiction and I'm arguably biased (having worked with the author in publishing/marketing the book) but Colleen's prose is raw, real and eye-opening. Her message is powerful and one I think many would benefit from reading.
