Breathless

This moving and charged novel by Lurlene McDaniel, the bestselling author of inspirational fiction for young adults, presents ethical as well as moral dilemmas and explores the harsh reality of making a choice that, once made, can never be undone.
Â
Travis Morrison knows how good his life is. Heâ€™s a champion diver and one of the most popular kids at school. He has Darla, the girl he loves; Emily, his kid sister, whom he actually doesnâ€™t mind hanging out with; and Cooper, his best friend.
On the first day of summer vacation, all four go boating on the lake, and everything feels perfect. They cut the motor and drift toward their favorite spot, where cliffs aboundâ€”nature at its finest. Travisâ€™s friends ask him not to try the diving stunt, but he canâ€™t resist a challenge.

Travisâ€™s silly stunt dive goes wrong, and he fears he has broken his leg. Instead, his trip to the hospital reveals devastating news. In an instant, Travisâ€™s life and the lives of everyone around him are forever changed.

Travis understands that his parents believe theyâ€™re doing whatâ€™s best for him. But heâ€™s always been sure of himself, and heâ€™s sure of one thing nowâ€”that he and only he should decide the course of his life. He has a plan, but he canâ€™t carry it out alone. How will he convince the three people he feels he can count on most to help him? And when things get even worse, who will fulfill his most important request?

In this honest and probing novel, Lurlene McDaniel tackles a controversial subject, sensitively exploring the issues of personal choice and quality of life, and poignantly reminding readers that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity.
