Morgan Llywelyn concludes her near-future, apocalyptic thriller trilogy with her signature depth and intimacy of character. In Breath by Breath, book three in the trilogy, the residents of Sycamore River emerge from nuclear war caused by the Change and its effects on technology. As they try to rebuild their shattered lives, they discover the Change continues. For some, the air has become lethally toxic. The small band of Sycamore River townsfolk have survived the unthinkable, but will they survive the last of the Change? Llywelyn blends her character-driven portrait of small-town life with the appeal of William Fortschen's One Second After.
