Resumen del Editor

Tara Fox Hall's writing career began in the pages of a small print magazine, Catnip Blossoms!, that a friend, Harald Moore, put out to promote his catnip farm in Johnsonville, New York. One short nonfiction article followed another, detailing her adventures saving wildlife, her experiences living on an acreage, and more than a few humorous recountings detailing the antics of her wacky pets.

Written to delight, fascinate, and move readers, her simple but enchanting stories of country life quickly found a following. Tara kept publishing stories for the next five years, even as the name of the magazine changed to Meanwhile and then to On the River when the catnip farm went out of business and Harald moved with his family to a new home near a river.

These previously published stories are collected here for the first time with new added content in the hopes of bringing a little more hope and inspiration into everyday life.

Great Book!

Would you listen to Deep Breaths again? Why?

I have long been a fan of Tara Fox Hall’s fiction so I was quite keen to try her only (as far as I know) non-fiction work.
This is a very moving and often humorous collection of short articles about her life on the farm and her many acts of animal rescue.
Beautifully written, as I would expect from Ms Hall.
A delightful, charming book. Highly recommended.
Since I wrote this, I downloaded the audio book and I would like to say how much I enjoyed Deborah Green’s sympathetic reading of the narrative. It was, if anything, even more moving to listen to the words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Deep Breaths?

That's a hard one. Maybe the butterflies that got caught on the windows.

What about Deborah Green’s performance did you like?

She speaks clearly without sounding like an automaton.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I both laughed and cried whilst reading this book.

Any additional comments?

If I were Audible I would not insist on such a detailed review. It will definitely put people off.

Excellent stories to give one a lift in these trying times. Deborah Green was a fine narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Wonderful Listen

Deep Breaths: Tales of Hope and Inspiration
: Tara Fox Hall

This is a quick clean listen. I wasn't familiar with any of this authors works. The collection of short stories are slices of life on or around her farm. Some of them will give the listener a chuckle, like rescuing dragon flies. Others will dream tears, while others are interesting to hear. I salute Tara Fox Hall for the compassion she shows to creatures large or small.


The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Deborah Green was very easy to listen to as she shares these stories.

Phenomenal

Deep Breaths has many short inspiring and beautiful stories that will melt your heart. The stories are well written and thought provoking. I highly recommend this book.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Delightful

This was light and airy and just the break from all intense books I recently read. Not that they were not good books. Just intense. The stories of the animals and their rescue, their cute antics, and touching results of the author's tender care were uplifting. The lessons learned from the "characters" inspirational.

The narrator was especially good with my only suggestion being to add a little more pause between the chapters. At times it took me a bit to realize we'd moved on to the next story.
