ABOUT THE BOOK Through sparse, elegant prose, Amy Koppelman's brutally honest portrayal of family and self shows the reader that real problems are indiscriminate of money or birthright. A Mouthful of Air brings to light the complexity and fragility of the human psyche. A Mouthful of Air begins a few weeks after Julie Davis's suicide attempt and on the eve of her son's first birthday. Desperate to lead a "normal" life, Julie tries to be thankful for the good things- her comfortable lifestyle, her doting husband and her healthy baby. But her emotional demons are unrelenting, and the battle is being quietly lost.

REPRESENTATION Editor's Notes:
Amy Koppelman's gracious personality belies her bold nature as a writer.
She took on a tough subject, perhaps one of the toughest, and produced a book that is as
graceful as it is uncompromising. In a time when redemtion is almost a required device
in literature written by women, Amy has instead chosen reality because that is what is needed.
Being a small part of her shattering debut makes me proud to be in publishing.
