"Learning to Breathe" by Janice Lynn Mather follows the story of a young girl, an aspiring writer named Amara, who grapples with the complexities of adolescence while dealing with her family’s struggles and her own identity. Set against the backdrop of the Bahamas, Amara seeks solace and clarity through her love for writing. As she navigates the challenges of friendships, family expectations, and the burden of grief, Amara discovers her voice and the importance of resilience. The novel beautifully portrays the journey of self-discovery, the power of creativity, and the challenges of growing up surrounded by both love and loss.
