Deborah Blanchard asked Kimberly Belle:

How did you come up with the concept for The Last Breath?

Kimberly Belle Hi Deborah, and thanks for your question! I read an article about compassionate release (allowing terminal prisoners to come home to die). It wasn't in Tennessee and it didn't involve a violent crime like in my story, but it got me thinking... What would that be like for the family? Would they welcome him home? Would they forgive him for what he did? Would they grieve his death? All these questions and more became The Last Breath. Thank you for reading! <3
