I Can Breathe in Water

by Barbara Green

A poignant autobiography filled with the horror of growing up under the spell of a dreadful disease, an abusive stepfather, a paedophiliac uncle, and an indifferent mother. The frightened and tired Barbara pushes her way to puberty only wallow in hippyish boyfriends, drugs, and unruly nights. Then follows an endless search for the right choice in life - jobs, husbands, children - and an endless path of mistakes that finally leads to the ways of God.

I Can Breathe In Water narrates her struggle up from the depths of despair as she tries to make amends in her life and seek out the proper choices. The pursuit leads her onto the path of discovery and enlightens her with the healing power of God.

Barbara Green tells an uplifting, motivational story about a desolate life, which offers reassurance to those who have plummeted into despair and offers hope through belief. Highlighting God as a new beginning this inspirational story will tug at the heart of the faintest believer.
