Why We Breathe
For Carrie Hicks, life has become a marathon. Working doubles at the diner, running to gigs at bars to chase her elusive dream of becoming a singer-songwriter, helping her daughter, Emma, with homework, and all the while supporting Rodney, her deadbeat boyfriend. But when Rodney's abuse lands him in jail and Emma in a wheelchair, Carrie makes a run for it with her daughter. Carrie and Emma attempt to start again in the tiny town of Nolensville with help from Carrie's Uncle Earl and his church-folk friends. But when Rodney comes looking for them, Carrie and Emma must find strength they never knew they had. Can they at last find peace?
