5 Breaths: When life lasts a breath

By Roberta Barbierato

Kentucky, 1896.
In the small Lyon house, in the heart of Mayfield County, the night holds the breath of a miracle: Elizabeth gives birth to five children - the first quintuplets born alive in America.
The town fills with candles, prayers, and hope. But the gift that heaven seems to have granted soon turns into a test - and then into guilt.

Between a pastor's blind faith, the denial of science, and the pale hunger that steals the babies' breath, Elizabeth learns that being a mother also means surviving silence.

Inspired by true events, 5 Breaths is a novel of light and sorrow, where every page becomes a prayer for those who have loved without being able to save.
A forgotten story of America that becomes a universal voice for mothers everywhere.

Roberta Barbierato delivers an intense and moving novel that intertwines history, faith, and motherhood in a story that touches the deepest chords of the human heart.
