Relation Toward Books One Breath Away

In her most emotionally charged novel to date, New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf explores the unspoken events that shape a community, the ties between parents and their children and how the fragile normalcy of our everyday life is so easily shattered.

In the midst of a sudden spring snowstorm, an unknown man armed with a gun walks into an elementary school classroom. Outside the school, the town of Broken Branch watches and waits.

Officer Meg Barrett holds the responsibility for the town's children in her hands. Will Thwaite, reluctantly entrusted with the care of his two grandchildren by the daughter who left home years earlier, stands by helplessly and wonders if he has failed his child again. Trapped in her classroom, Evelyn Oliver watches for an opportunity to rescue the children in her care. And thirteen-year-old Augie Baker, already struggling with the aftermath of a terrible accident that has brought her to Broken Branch, will risk her own safety to protect her little brother.

As tension mounts with each passing minute, the hidden fears and grudges of the small town are revealed as the people of Broken Branch race to uncover the identity of the stranger who holds their children hostage.

Piece Containing Books One Breath Away

One Breath Away is extremely slow, nothing happens. Each chapter brings stories of the characters that are totally unrelated to the main plot. Many useless details are there as page fillers, but the story never fully develops. The main characters are not believable, nothing is clear and the end is just disappointing and unreal.

Heather Gudenkauf makes you turn the pages just love her writing the story starts when a lone gunman holds a teacher & students hostage in a classroom every parents nightmare it's in the middle of a snowstorm outside the residents of Broken Branch wait& watches to see what will happen loved the characters & plot was strong well written had me guessing right to the end she is fast becoming one of my favourite authors

I am reading this now and cannot put it down. Gudenkauf, has it it out of the ballpark yet again as she did with THESE THINGS HIDDEN and A BREATH OF SILENCE. ONE BREATH AWAY is a story ripped from the headlines: A gunman is holding children hostage at their school in a small town in Iowa. Who is he? And what is his motive? Through the voices of a female police officer, a third-grade teacher just about to retire, the grandfather of two of the students -- and his daughter lying in a hospital a

POSSIBLE SPOILERS...it's a pretty good book and the author, Heather Gudenkauf, is such an interesting storyteller, unfolding the events of only a few hours in such a way that keeps you heavily invested. However, she throws so many red herrings your way that it makes it so easy to guess who's responsible. A man with a gun has entered a school in a small town in Iowa and the town races to find out who he is to stop him from killing a potentially great deal of people. There are many characters

When a lone gunman walks into a local school in Broken Branch, Iowa it sends the whole school and the community into total chaos. The gunman takes a whole classroom, including the teacher hostage, but no one knows precisely why or what he really wants or who he is. Outside the school is a gathering of worried and frantic parents and family who just want answers, but unfortunately no one holds any answers. Will the police be able to get all the hostages out safely and back to their loved ones? An

Given the spate of school shootings over the past few years, you would assume a novel about a gunman taking children hostage at a school in a small town would be as suspenseful as it is timely. Unfortunately, I found the suspense lacking and the tension watered down by the novel's construction which was skillfully done, but slowed the novel's narrative drive. The story is told through the eyes of five narrators, all experiencing the horror and processing it in different ways. They are a mother

This is my first Heather Gudenkauf book and oooooh - what a dandy. The story is fast paced and hooked me from the very first page. I like the way the story unfolded from five different viewpoints: Augie, Will, Mrs. Oliver, Meg and Holly. Not only did we move forward with each charcter, but also backwards to get an understanding of each individual and what lead them to this fateful day.Ms. Gundenkauf writes a well organized, fast paced story. I always like that I have to get to the very end
