Breakthrough

by Ashley Walsh

"A story crafted to guide you through an overwhelming journey of love, loss, and discovery."

What really happened the night her brother burned to death in a fire his father started? A tragic circumstance brings them together only to pull them apart. Now, twenty years later, Mike and Kali have encountered a powerful relationship challenged by the crimes and deceptions of others. Their lives are quickly enriched as Mike’s sister sparks her existence into a heartfelt addition of humor and self-discovery. Breakthrough is a touching journey of once in a lifetime love and characters who learn to balance betrayal, forgiveness, and murder. When a twist of fate intervenes, and there is only one way for them to survive, they must all revisit the past. Will their relationships be strong enough to sustain the truth?

About the author

First and foremost...thanks for stopping by!

I love hearing from you, so feel free - ashley@ashleybwalsh.com

I'm a writer and designer living in Austin, Texas. I’m married with five kids, two that are human.

For personal enjoyment, I love all things Colorado. Luckily, all paths are leading in that direction. It’s home, after all. I read a lot, spend countless hours at baseball fields all over the country, and have a healthy relationship with Netflix. I love my family, and I love my friends, and because I do, I cherish old traditions and the opportunity of creating new ones.

My favorite things are Gus (my beloved rescued mutt), and then...Christmas, Chuys, pecan roast coffee, and the color blue.

I’m thrilled to let Breakthrough go. That's not to say I haven't experienced any significant separation anxiety since doing so. However, it’s time to share. It's been a very long ride, and I’m confident I've finally got it right. I’ve come to love these characters beyond measure, and I’m excited to see where Breakthrough goes.

I'm currently working on my next novel Cotton Creek. Buckle up...it's going to be a good one!

xoxo~

My favorite suspenses are ones that leave me on the edge of my seat, but also have a great ending. This book has everything and did not disappoint. I read it in 2 days and only because I forced myself to give my family some attention. So well written and will keep you hooked. I liked that there were no hidden characters, as there so often are in novels these days. Brilliant.

I found this book a week ago and already kicking myself for waiting several days to read it. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I was unsure if I wanted to spend the money on a debut author but gave in after reading several reviews and the description. I’m now a fan and hope there’s more coming and soon. The chemistry between characters comes through strongly in dialogue. It’s realistic, often funny and sad. This book is sexy and scary. I was brought to tears several times and kept turning the pages to see what would happen next.

A beautifully emotional story, loved it! The chemistry between characters is wonderful and brought me to tears several times. I love when an author can make me laugh, cry, and even get somewhat angry. This was one of those I couldn't put down. I look forward to what's next from Walsh.

Loved this story and didn’t want it to end. An emotional rollercoaster throughout! Great character development with scenes I felt part of. The friendships were my favorite, along with multiple unexpected twists. It’s not often a story comes together so well in the end. Can’t wait for her next book!

What an incredible book that I could not put down once I started reading. The character development is amazing and when it ended, I was truly disappointed. I was hooked with the relationships amongst the characters and the unexpected storylines. I think it should be made into a movie it was that good. This author has some true talent - hope she writes another book soon as I would buy it immediately. Great summer read - but be sure you have nothing going on the next day as you might read it all night as you can't put it down!

Captivating! It’s early, but this could be a top read for 2018-2019 if word gets out. I'll go as far as saying I have read it twice. The writing is excellent, pacing quick with fully relatable and charming characterization, and the ending was excellent, leaving you wanting more. Even if you guess at the who, you probably won't guess the why until revealed. This debut author gets kudos for grabbing my attention and holding it. I can’t wait to see more from this author in the near future *clap clap clap*

It's always exciting to find a new author that isn't 'cookie cutter'. Breakthrough is not only a fun read, it's a truly interesting story. There are so many different perspectives presented, but yet, they are all tied together so well that the story keeps flowing to a very satisfying conclusion. Ashley Walsh is now on my must read list. I look forward to more works from this promising new author!

Just finished this book!! Really fun. Enjoyed every minute. Keep them coming!
I rate books by how much they make me think, how much they make me feel, and how much they draw me into their world. The characters were so relatable. This book was hard to put down because the entire time I was waiting to find out what happened! Great Read!!

I loved this book so much! From the first page to the end, I could not put it down! I loved every character and considered rationing chapters to myself to make it last longer. I wish it was a series!
