The girl
who kept breathing
The new book by
MISTY NESBIT
Even in the silence of brokenness, there is still breath—and with breath, there is hope.
“”
This is my story—the story of a girl who was, and still is, broken. For years, I kept my past a secret, afraid of being judged—or worse, blamed. Our past does not define our future but silence can destroy us.
The Girl Who Kept Breathing is proof that even in the darkest moments—when it feels impossible to survive—we can. I wrote this book because someone out there—maybe you—needs to know you’re not alone.
If you’ve ever felt broken, forgotten, neglected, or as if the very air has been stolen from your lungs, I hope these words remind you that there is always another breath, another way forward—as a survivor, not a victim.
