Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Silence Between Breaths follows a female American soldier deployed to Iraq whose life changes after being captured and held as a prisoner of war. The story moves between intense moments of physical survival and the quieter, more haunting psychological battles that follow.During captivity, time loses meaning. The soldier endures fear, isolation, and uncertainty, clinging to fragments of hope while facing the reality that no one may know where she is. The narrative captures how survival becomes less about strength and more about endurance--minute by minute, breath by breath.The "silence" in the title represents those in-between moments--the pauses where the noise of war fades but the internal battle remains. It's about what isn't said, what can't be explained, and what lives in the space between breaths.
