Synopsis
Beyond Breathing is a story of a mother's loss of her 13 year old daughter, Jena, to Cystic Fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease. Her journey takes you from unfathomable heartache to love and understanding of life's realities.
Through her journey she learns that life lessons come from her children and the beauty of living and the power of love.
In the span of one year she learns to go from depression and dependency to inner strength and the realization that love never ends and that there are no coincidences. That she is beyond just breathing.

January 05, 2010: This is a must read. This is a story of a young girl with a terminal illness and her family. The story tells us all how they chose to live and inspire us all. The story is not about how she died, but how she lived life everyday to the fullest. It shares the raw heart break of a mother and the good humor that her daughter brought to life. This is a very quick read, yet it was one of the most inspiring books that I have ever read. It is great a great book for book clubs because there is so much to talk about. I have asked my book club to read it.

June 22, 2009: Margarete Cassalina not only writes this beautiful book about her family and cystic fibrosis but also brings insipration to your life. This book is a touching real life story about a remarkable young woman named Jena and her unbelievably strong mother. Cassalina is an extraordinary writer and hooks you in within seconds. You won't be able to put it down. This book brings tears and heartache but most importantly shows the true meaning of love.
