Stealing Air

By Rauri Terrones

She's been called unstable, manipulative, even dangerous. But the truth is far more complicated-and far more human.

Ravi has lived most of her adult life off the grid in Denver-evading police, stealing just enough to survive, and slipping between cracks in a system that never once stopped to ask who she really was. Misdiagnosed as bipolar in her youth, misunderstood by every adult who tried to "fix" her, Ravi built her identity around one simple rule: take what they won't give you.

But when a sudden collapse leads to a devastating medical diagnosis, Ravi can no longer outrun the truth-not in her body, and not in her spirit. What begins as a descent into physical deterioration becomes an unexpected journey of reckoning, redefinition, and reluctant redemption.

As her strength fades, her clarity sharpens. She discovers her symptoms align more closely with neurodivergence-specifically autism and ADHD-not the disorder she was labeled with for most of her life. With her health slipping and no safety net, Ravi must navigate a world that has always seen her as a problem... and decide if she still believes she's beyond saving.

Set against the gritty heartbeat of Denver's streets and rooftop hideaways, Stealing Air is a raw and redemptive psychological thriller threaded with suspense, survival, spiritual reckoning, and unexpected hope. If you love fierce, complicated heroines, emotionally layered storytelling, and fiction that blurs the line between chaos and healing-this book was written for you.
