When Breath Is Taken

Not all ghosts haunt.

In fact, Lucas wants nothing more than to save his sister's life.

Killed by a drunk driver four months ago, seventeen-year-old Lucas resents his new existence as a spirit. Unseen and unheard, all he can do is watch while his family grieves his death. Brinley, his younger sister, is especially devastated and spirals deep into depression. When she begins to write suicide notes, Lucas is the only one who knows. Desperate to save her, he can do nothing-until Alex, the quiet, homeschooled girl with cancer, inexplicably sees him.

Told that she has just six months to live, Alex is fighting her own battle with death. But when a mysterious boy shows up in her hospital room pleading for help, she agrees to try. As time runs short and feelings deepen, she and Lucas embark on a journey to save Brinley and each other.
